The German Woman Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Hated it, will not finish it. "

" Not exactly light and fluffy summer reading, but hey, it was about WWII, what did I expect?! Well researched, especially the descriptions of London during the intense Nazi bombings before the Normandy invasion. This isn't a fun read, and if you like a standard Hollywood happy ending, you'd best pass this one by. If, however, you are interested in historical fiction and like a bit of realism, then you won't be disappointed. "

" Great beginning, beautiful language but not sure what happened at the end. Someone else read it and explain it to me. "

" A story which takes us from WWI through the end of WWII through the life of an English woman who ends up living in Germany between the wars. Good, though not fabulous. "

" The descriptions of what life was like in London, during the Nazis' V-1 reign of terror, during WWII, is disturbingly moving...the story itself could have used some better editing. "

" I'm entirely disappointed with how the last 50 pages of this story went. When I started to actually tolerate the storyline, the author went and ruined both characters. If I had been the editor, I would have removed pages 1-100 and 250 to 308. I wish, like a DVD, there was an alternate ending option. This book needed one. I would have rather continued reading the schizophrenic outbursts of eating live horses and pissing in the mouths of dead bodies like the first 100 pages, then read about a cry baby male spy and an unrealistic female spy. "

" This book tells the tale of an English woman who marries a German and finds her nationality and loyalties question throughout World War I and II. I really like the first part of the book, dealing with the aftermath of WWI from the German perspective. The second section, set during the Blitz, seems disjointed. It's almost like 2 books in one, which could be oft-putting to some. Both stories do seem unfinished and unresolved. "

" Good book, I'm glad I bought it. "

" It always bothered me when the female character would call her love interest 'meine kleine kartoffle' (my little potatoe). If I was a guy I would at the least insist on being called 'meine grosse Kartoffle' (my big potatoe). "

" OK, so I admit it. I gave up on this one. The plot was taking forever to get to, people kind of boring.... "

" Another look at post war Europe "

" Gave up. Plot wandering, and characters totally unengaging. Booooring. "

" Great Book. Makes you think. "

" I lost interest in this book easily. While there are parts of it I enjoyed, the story seems very choppy and at times hard to follow. I hate to quit reading a book before I'm finished, and that's the only reason I read the entire thing. "

" Wandering plot with characters that didn't come alive for me. "

" interesting story could have been better "

" The history of WWII hurt to listen to. I really enjoyed the reading. Want to know if she was a spy or not - left something to think about. "

" An American citizen, exiled to the UK during World War II due to his German ancestry, meets and falls in love with the british widow of a German doctor. What constitutes nationality and where lies loyalty when both are suspected of being spies? "

" Disappointing...interesting plot but characters vague. Didn't really care in the end. "

" I found this book enjoyable enough, but it seemed to be building to something big and never quite got there. However, I really liked both of the main characters, and it's a novel with a good "atmosphere." I just wish that brooding atmosphere had had more pay off. "

" Who edited this? The story is so broken up and at times difficult to follow that eventually I found myself not even caring about the storyline because it was so disjointed! "

" not good, could have been much better. "

" Great Book. Makes you think. "

" Spans two wars, but is very hard to follow characters and plot. Being a very concrete person, I don't like to "guess" what a story is all about. "

" Way too confusing.. One minutes everyone is killing everyone else.. Poles, Black Russians, White Russians, Red Russians, Germans.. Then everybody is at a costome party! I just didn't like it. "

" This book takes place in early twentieth-century Europe. The novel is about a British nurse who marries a German and their story as the move about during the first World War and after. "
