Helpful Score: 2

I didn't want to give it a 3 because it was more like a 3.5. I did enjoy it in most parts and it was definitely not boring, but my expectations were higher.

To put it bluntly, I have read better stories about the holocaust that didn't feel like a police investigation show. The elements I enjoyed the most involved the bakery theme; however, I didn't find the use of the Scheherazade background original at all.

I gave it a 4 because I'm a fan of Jodi's otherwise she would have fared less favorably.

The Seventh Well by Fred Wander is a much better story if anybody would like to learn from the mouth/pen of a man who survived 7 concentration camps.
