Sam Reviews "Immigrant Soldier, the Story of a Ritchie Boy" by K. Lang-Slattery

I have a (somewhat unhealthy) obsession with the Holocaust and Nazi Germany so I jump at the opportunity to watch any movie or documentary and to read books that delve into the atrocities that happened there.
I do not typically enjoy historical fiction, however, but I was pleasantly surprised by this story.  There were some parts that got a little hung up in the history and the procedures of war but most of the time I didn't even feel like I was reading a historical fiction novel, it was just a really great story.  The writing is simple but articulate and I could honestly see the story unfolding like a movie in my mind, which is my favorite kind of writing.
I could honestly see myself reading this book a second time in the future so I'm glad I finally sat down with it.

    1. Yes I can definitely appreciate the fact that it's based on a true story. And it makes me feel very adult to enjoy a historical novel haha
