Truth is an excellent author!
A very thought provoking story. It brings to life the tragedy of the Holocaust and the effect it had on generations. Very well written and heartbreaking.

intriguing
This was my first Albom novel upon the recommendation of a FB friend. I enjoyed the style and the Holocaust story from a unique perspective.

Truth and Lies
I have been a long time fan of Mitch Albom and for me, this was his best book yet. It’s a story of family and love, truth and lies, redemption and forgiveness. It’s a World War II story but unlike any other stories that I’ve read about this time in history. The story is centered around three main characters in Greece before, during and after the war:-Nico is eleven years old and has never told a lie. He always told the truth no matter what the consequences.-Frannie is a schoolmate of Nico’s and loves him from a young age.-Sebastian is Nico’s older brother and resents him because everyone favors him plus he is in love with Frannie.When the Germans invade Greece, all of Nico’s family is put on trains to what they are told are work camps. Nico had been out all day and when he returns to find his family gone, he is confronted by a German officer who tells him that he can save his family if he agrees to go to the train station and tell the Jewish people that they are being sent to a place with jobs and new homes. He agrees to this plan knowing that it will help to save his family. However, it’s all a ruse and the German officer is using Nico’s reputation as someone who doesn’t tell lies to trick the Jewish passengers who are being sent to concentration camps. Nico doesn’t learn the truth until after all of the Jewish people have been sent to Auschwitz. After that he vows to never tell the truth again. He then attempts to get to Auschwitz with a plan to save his family. The author goes into vivid details over daily life in the camp and the effects on Sebastian and his family. The book follows the lives of the three main characters during and after the war. I don’t want to go into much detail about their lives after the war because I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say that even through the war is finished, all three characters are dramatically affected by their memories of life in Greece before the war and the cruelty that were inflicted on them and their families during the war.The narrator of the story is TRUTH and it’s a story about the power of love to ultimately redeem us, no matter how deeply we blame ourselves for our mistakes.This book is a must read for anyone who reads WWII fiction for the way it looks at truth and the consequences of lies.

GOOD BOOK
I enjoy books written by Mitch Albom, he has a style that is very identifiable. A story told from the perspective of Trust, many in my book club felt it was too similar to The Book Thief told from the perspective of Death….

I have read (and reread) all of Mitch Alborn’s books. He is an amazing author and writes the most moving books that always leave me thinking and are often life affirming. They are beautifully spiritual.The Little Liar is an incredibly moving and poignant novel focused around the awful atrocities surrounding the Holocaust. In places, the events he describes are horrific but Alborn’s style of writing is very accessible, the characters so strong they seem almost real. I would really recommend The Little Liar.
