Wonderful
This story is one that sticks with you, I feel a different way every time I watch it and not many stories do that, this is based on the real life of a real man who got to love his dream, it is inspiring, thoughtful and powerful despite the debates of Christopher being a spoilt rich kid, he really does see life in a way that most can only dream of and that makes the impact of the movie all the more great.

Rich descriptive text
I chose to read this book as I saw the advert for the TV series just before it was due, and felt that it sounded really interesting. I like to read books before the film or TV series is released wherever possible to fully enjoy the story as intended as the series or movie can be very different. I read through the book very quickly and found it difficult to put down. Neil Gaiman is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

Christine finds herself in love with a man above her in station, Isaac. She is poor and works for his family, yet he is rich. Despite this, he is also in love with her. When the war begins the stations they hold mean nothing. The only thing that matters now is that Christine is German and Isaac is a Jew. This story follows the hardships of war and the hope for a young love.


 This book was wonderful. It is written in such detail that you can just imagine being there. The characters are real and relatable. Christine and Isaac face so much hardship. Between the stations they hold to the religions they follow, they face such trouble in being together. The determination these two show is inspiring. Christine is followed more than Isaac, and her story is inspiring. The War takes this story to new light. I thought this was going to be a book about romance in hard times. While it was that, it was also a book of survival and hope in in a country ravaged by war. It was a new view on the horrors that the Germans and the Jews faced. Bombings, death, persecution, love, survival, and hope for a better future are all part of this story. This story was truly a marvelous read about a horrible time. This story provides so much emotion that at times I was so happy while others just broke my heart and brought me to tears. This certainly was an emotional read, but that just makes this an even better story. This was a story filled with love, loss, hope, and a world war that changes the lives of so many.

This is the second book I have read by this author and each book is amazing in detail and written in such a way that you can't help but be sucked into the story. I am so glad I was able to review this story for such a talented author.
