I completely agree with your children. It was boring (and it was all over the place, the movie was much better) but the narration was good. I thought I was the only one who thought so. My review on Amazon has earned me 0 out of 6 likes, LOL. Your kids have good taste ;)
Thanks! :D I also thought it was boring. I forgot to put that in my review. lol Ok, like 2 of my kids I thought some of it was ok, but for the most part, a snooze-fest, but the narration was top-notch. I just got my 1st 'unhelpful' and a comment about how it's not meant for 13yo boys, it's meant for adults. My kids all read at adult levels, but that's besides the point. It.Was.Boring. And it's just our opinion. People take book reviews so damn seriously. Jeez. We're happy to join the WWZ Was Boring Club. We must stick together apparently. LOL
My sons said the movie was nothing like the book. The book is a series of interviews with survivors. If you like documentaries you should enjoy this. Try it out before leaving it hanging in limbo. :)
