I would hate to live there as well. I say as I am watching my friend's son. Crazy! Can't wait to read the book, though I am a little scared, because I always cry when I read anything about WWII. But I am going to try nonetheless. Thanks for doing this book club!

The book sounds good; the newspaper story sounds ridiculous!

I will mimic my grandmother and say, "What on earth is this world coming to?!"
