The Volunteer: One Man, an Underground Army, and the Secret Mission to Destroy Auschwitz
by Jack Fairweather
The Volunteer (5/8/2019)
I did not know that the Polish underground sent anyone in to Aushwitz. I think that was a monstrous time and we should know about all the heroic acts during that period.
The Affairs of the Falcóns
by Melissa Rivero
The Affairs of the Falcons Review (11/30/2018)
Ana Falcon, her friends and family did not lure me into the story. I thought the author was repetitive. I would have liked to know the characters history. I would not recommend this book.
The Lost Man
by Jane Harper
The Lost Man Review (11/6/2018)
I loved this book because it drew me in immediately to the three brothers story; Nathan, Cameron and Bub. Cameron, the middle brother, is found dead on his ranch in the remote Autralian outback by the grave of the mythical and mysterious Stockman. Cameron's death leads us into the story of the lives of Nathan, Cameron and Bub, their family and the story of the Stokman. They come to life as Jane Harper weaves the past and present together so that you have a history of the family, their weaknesses and strengths and how hard it is to live in the Outback. So, at the end you wonder which of the brothers is the Lost Man or is it the Stockman who went astray.
