Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a Dutchman with a great interest in WWII combined with the great reviews I thought this would be a great book. Turned out that it is the worst book I have ever read. There are three elements in this book. 1: The bomber pilot part; actually this is the most believable part of the book. The writer was probably helped by actual pilots. 2: The description of the Netherlands. I did not recognize my own country. She has trains going from Amsterdam via Alkmaar to Leeuwarden over the afsluitdijk in the north. The afsluitdijk has no rails.All the cliches about the Netherlands are used.(No we don't all live in windmills) 3: The description of the occupation of the Netherlands and the resistance movement. This last part was truly terrible. The writer has Jews hiding in attics as early as April 1940, a month before the invasion of the Netherlands. She described Utrecht as a bombed out city while not a single bomb was dropped on the city during the whole war. She has the Luftwaffe bombing Dutch cities in 1945. Unlikely since the Luftwaffe had no way of bombing cities anymore in 1945 and those cities were still occupied by the Germans at the time. The whole description of the resistance and the treatment of civilians by the Germans were completely based on situations you might have encountered in Poland or occupied Russia but not in the Netherlands or other Western European countries. Lastly, the writer identifies herself as a Christian writer. This results in a kind of 1950's prose that is annoying to say the least. A kind of good guy en bad guy descriptions you will not find in even children's books nowadays. I really cannot understand all the 5 star reviews people have written. Personally I like my fiction surrounded by facts.
