Poxl West
I was not as crazy about this as some others. It is a decent, well written novel I read a couple of weeks ago and have already mostly forgotten. Certainly not a 5 star effort in my book

A Mixed Review
World War II -- a Jewish pilot in the RAF – what's not to like? In this tome, Torday tells two coming of age stories. With two distinct voices, he spins quite an engaging tome. One voice in the form of a memoir, is a young Jewish fighter pilot. The other voice is a boy who worships the hero. I was hooked within a few pages, surprised by the twists and turns. However, I think for some readers it might prove a bit of a challenge. The memoir segment uses vocabulary that for some might require keeping a dictionary handy. And if you don't like sentences that can meander through a few lines of type, it might not be the book for you. That being said, it was a good read. I found myself identifying with the younger character. I could not help feeling glad I was born in much more sane and tolerant time. I would not recommend if for book clubs.
