The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story,   ISBN:9780393333060

Customer Rating: 

One of the most poorly written books I've ever read. I'm surprised it got such good review. I couldn't follow most of it (too boring), and wanted to skim a lot. My book club all gave it very poor review.

Customer Rating: 

I had a hard time reading this book it was very monotonous, a constant flow of uninteresting charters and events.That may seem strange to some because in real life those were dangerous and life threatening times.The author failed to capture the real drama that occurred during this historical time

I just listened to the audio version of this book and enjoyed it immensely. The narrator was excellent, falling easily into and out of the characters and story. The observations, that were Antonina's herself, regarding animals made me pause for thought and reflection, even replay, several times. Additionally, I gained much knowledge from The Zookeeper's Wife, which is the bonus! Thank you Ms. Ackerman, well done.

A real 'page turner' for readers who like true stories, are interested in animals,
humans, psychology and the 2. world war. Very well written - compassionate and
with a good sense of humor. My favorite!

Customer Rating: 

This felt slow and dry to me. One little story after another.... I would have rather her write a historical fiction based on the story so it would flow more. The author also made it seem like all Poles were helpful to Jews. If that were the case, this story wouldn't be so special!
