Bright Candles; a novel of Danish resistance,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bright candles; a novel of the Danish resistance (Hardcover)
An enthralling story possesing all the important componants of a good novel, danger, love, adventure, and the best part is, it actully happened. Well, not really, the caractures are fictional but the plot is not. It's the story of a young man living in Denmark during world war II and the German occupation. He, like almost all of the youth in the country, becomes part of the "resistance". The resistance is responcible for doing almost everything possible to irratate, or in some cases kill, the Germans. They were responcible for everything from illegal newspapers to factory bombings. The hero must face death of friends and the terrible feeling that he is responcible for his fathers fate. Nathaniel Benchley has obvioulsy spent a great deal of time on reserch, as this book is almost a resource for information on World War II. The amundance of historical facts may lose the intrest of some but will greatly increase the enjoyment for others. Related books for younger readers are "Code name Chris," and "lisas war," by Carol Mathas and "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry

This review is from: Bright Candles: A Novel of the Danish Resistance (Hardcover)
I have read many books before. I thought this one is a very very good book. It keeps you entertained and has a lot of suspense from beginning to the end. It never gets real slow in parts unlike some books. The book is very realistic and is a historical fiction book. The only thing that I have against it is the details lag and it sometimes skips a month or two between chapters. I do however recommend this book to read. It is very interesting to read.
