 Rating:  - An usual mix...There are so many 5-star reviews that I thought I'd add a little detail so potential readers can know more about this before diving in like I did.

Rating:  - An amazing story.I first read this book when I was about eleven, over thirty years later I bought it again, and the story was just as amazing to me as an adult as it was when I was a child.

What lesson of heroism! The victory at the end of suffering is a lesson of humanity. Great book. Rating: - Phenomenal, Unforgettable BookMy husband and I both read this book after seeing a History Channel documentary of this man's story. It is hard to believe that the book is a true story, though, of course, it is. This book is not only the tale of an incredibly brave man who would defied death again and again, but it is also, and of equal interest, a testament to the people of Norway and their courage during the Second World War. I am buying this book for everyone on my Christmas list this upcoming year.
