Review: Not enought "there" there for me--
Rating: 3 out of 5

On the plus side, the Dutch locale is very well depicted, and the characters are definitely different. Some are a bit cartoonish for me, especially on the German side. But mostly, too much energy was expended by the protagonists for too small a payoff in the end.  The story of the V-2 is a familiar one to all WWII buffs, and little new was added to that.What the book did have in elaborate, repeated detail was a lot of sex, mostly messy and unpleasant. And to me, unnecessary, especially as it ended up demeaning one of the heroines far more than I thought necessary for the story. But that is a matter of taste, of course.
