Bodie and Brock Thoene- "The Twilight of Courage"

I have a big issue with zoning out while reading. Which is why I normally limit my books to around 400 pages. With Twilight of Courage, I am over that limit by a good 200 pages. Which,  in the story it needs to be,  or else it would be rushed.

This is a historical fiction taking place in WWII right before Germany invades France. It tells the story of a wide selection of different people all being affected by the same events and finding themselves running into one another from time to time.

I liked this book even though it is oober long. It has taken me a week to read it, not because it takes a lot to concentrate on it, but because it has made me want to look up the events on the internet for further information. I am a huge history buff and this book has been a really good read. The only problem is around the 450th page I hit a reading wall and it took me forever to finish the book. It wouldn't have worked any other way because of the fact that there are so many different characters and each story is so complex. Considering that it is an intimidating read length wise, but it is totally worth it.
