Nothing like you expect. And that’s not a good thing.

I was looking so forward to listening to this book when I found it. This chronicles one of the most atrocious periods in history, and you go into this book thinking it will be an account of what happened. It’s nothing like that. It’s a warbling mess, flashing back and forth from 2001 to accounts from the Jedwabne massacre. And other events that aren’t related. And the listener has no idea what is going on. It’s impossible to follow.

I’m so sad because I just couldn’t finish the book. I hate not finishing one I’ve started. I would have loved to give it a five star rating. Maybe in book form it easier to follow. The narrator is okay, but the problems are not of his making.
