Too Little, Too Late is a real page turner. It will draw you in from the first chapter and you will be hooked right to the end. This book pulls no punches as it draws you in with its grit and realism. Too Little, Too Late deals with some hard subjects, but you will be at the edge of your seat trying to figure out what happens next as you navigate the many plot twists and turns. This book is truly engrossing, and I guarantee that once you pick it up, you will have a hard time putting it down.Too Little, Too Late is definitely a mature read. There is quite a bit of course language, and the story deals with things that some people may find unpleasant, including a homeless woman being killed. The story is about the many horrors the characters deal with on their journey from WWII Poland to Hollywood. The book starts out hard hitting, and only gets more so as the plot progresses. Too Little, Too Late was never intended to be a light or cheery book. I personally enjoyed the dark elements and found that the harsh dialogue and detailed descriptions really painted a vivid picture and only added to the atmosphere. The story is grim, and the writing is shocking at times. Despite this, Too Little, Too Late is never shocking just for the sake of being shocking. There is a brilliant story being told, and the writing is very thought provoking.The story covers a wide range of emotions and dives head first into some of the less pleasant ones. This makes the story very relatable. Hope prevails in the end, and you will really feel like you are right there feeling and experiencing the same thoughts and emotions as the characters. Reading this book is definitely an experience, one that you are sure to enjoy once you get into it. It is very hard to read just a little at a time. You will be enthralled and time will fly by as you find yourself lost in the pages.If you are looking for an exciting and suspense filled read that will keep you at the edge of your seat and really knows how to push the envelope, I really recommend Too Little, Too Late. Marta Tandori is a very creative and imaginative writer. She knows how to draw you in and make you feel like you are there in the heat of the moment. There is never a dull moment in the story, and the writing will keep you entertained as it takes you places you never anticipated.
