I listened to the audio book:

I was pleasantly surprised. This is a wonderful book. It's a little hard to get in to at first because it starts off introducing the character you end up hating and it's just a little vulgar to start. Once the book introduces it's other characters (including Julie) you will be hooked. The plot is set during WWII and follows the stories of several characters eventually bringing them all together in the end.

The writing is wonderful and the narrator was great to listen to. It was easy to distinguish between the characters and keep track of the story line and how they all related. Part of me loved this book for its historical nature, but it's full of adventure and suspense as well.

It's a fantastic read and I'd recommend it to anyone.
