Read this book for book club. If I didn't know it was fiction, I would have thought it was a true story. There were many twists and turns that I could not put this book down for very long. It is worth reading.

The, book while fictional, is written in such a way as being believable in its possibilities. It is a story that is very hard to put down. It captures the reader from the 1st sentence and doesn't let go till the last. I only gave it 4 stars because a few minor things were left hanging. The book is worth the money.

This story is more than just a story. It is a true account of the horrors of the holocaust  woven in a very intricate way to grab the readers attention page after page.

This is definately a "can't put it down true story". I purchased this book after hearing Eugene tell his story. When I opened it at 12:14 AM, for just a peak at its contains, I found myself reading on to 3:00 AM. The larger print is an aid to reading for weak and tired eyes. Eugene's words are like a movie playing in your mind. He penned that story with the cultural history of the actual events. It is a tale of trying to retrieve something that belongs to you while another will not willing relinquest it that leads to some very scary and exasperating circumstances. This book would be a great gift for fathers or grandfathers who are classic car enthusiasts.

So well written the reader almost feels he is on the scene sharing the experience.

The book was very simply written, however since it was done in the manner of a true story being told, it did a very good job of covering the events.  I grew up in the area so it made my interest in the story more intense than maybe someone else would find it.

It's hard to imagine that this actually happened but this is a true story, the book holds your attention as if it were a fiction drama.  There are so many lessons to learn in this book, how small town gossip and rumors can ruin lives.  More important, what happened to Tonya could happen to anyone all it takes it one accusation and your life is forever damaged.  This book should be a lesson to the judicial system that the law applies to you just as much as a private citizen.  Shame on the parents of the children in this book how much permanent damage have you done to your own child by using them as a weapon for your own agenda.

I didn't realize when I started the book that it's a true story. It reads like fabulous fiction but as the story goes on the reality becomes more plausible and that much more engaging..very well written..

One of the better written books Ive read in a while. It reads like fiction but the story was all the more exciting because it is of course factual. It also exposes many of the financial, political, and inter-agency hurdles that occur for even the simplest mission or change of policy to occur. Our country is full of millions of brilliant minds but too many of them whether see our country fail their way than to see America succeed any other way. A sign of a government so big that it exists only for the sake of itself

This book is a true story that reads like fiction as it is full of surprises and the heroine is completely lovable.  Darah's story of keeping faith through incidents that  one usually only reads about is entertaining and touching all at once.  She makes you laugh, cry and feel as if you were there.  Her wit and imagination make this story of real life a wonderful book.

This is one of those "Truth is stranger than Fiction" stories that needed to be told. It is an amazing example of courage and survival under extraordinary situations and conditions that few could imagine. The Author recounts her early life experiences in vivid detail and leaves you wondering how they were even possible. Once at the end the reader will left wanting more.

This is powerfully written account that has opened my eyes, in a way never before, to the courage that is required of the young people who fight our wars. In their book, Elizabeth Hoban and her father Lt. Col. Henry Supchak recount his service as a WWII pilot, the act of bravery that spared an Austrian village and the decades-long search by a shepherd boy turned entrepreneur to thank him. Told from the heart and written like a novel, the reader is placed directly into each scene, forced to wonder and ask how he or she might have responded. It's the stuff of great novels and movies. Yet it's a true story -- one that will stay with you long after you have put the book down.

It was a good read but since it was based on a true occurrence I personally would have liked it more if it was a true account rather than  a  "What could have happened"
