Summary: Absolutely Fantastic & Moving Work of Historical Fiction
Comment: Mila 18 is a wonderfully written novel, that I found superior to Uris' most famous work, Exodus, in both storyline and writing style. The character development is excellent, which makes the reader truly "invested" in the welfare of the book's major players. I can't recall having read another book that managed to increase my pulse rate during tense moments, or actually bring me to tears (unexpectedly!) quite like Mila 18. For under $7 -- this is a no-brainer (an enriching experience, unlike your typical similarly priced movie ticket!). Enjoy.

Summary: Much, much more than a novel of wartime struggle
Comment: Mila 18 was one of the best novels I have ever read. As common as this phrase may sound, this novel is anything but uncommon. Trying to reach an audience that has little, if any, knowledge of the actual non-fiction events that led to the destruction of the Jewery of Warsaw, Poland is a monumental task within itself. As for someone who has read a considerable amount on the actual events that led to the uprising of the Jews of Warsaw, this work of fiction symbolizes the sheer humanity and will to live that every fighter posessed in a wonderful, historical manner. On a recent trip to Poland I found myself searching for the places Uris described so often in his book, only to be confronted with the disdain of many Warsaw Poles who wish to bury the existence of nearly 300,000 Jewish inhabitants (pre-war estimate) and shy away from the memory of the largest European Jewish community's destruction. The strangest thing about Poland is that children, when trying to insult one another, or adults, wishing to claim one soccer team's dominance over another's, use the word "Jew" to signify cowardice. Mila 18 is one work of fiction that should be read by the people of Poland as well as those in the United States in order to see the significance of struggle and to understand who the real cowards are. Finally, as an important side note, once you pick up this novel, the thought of putting it down will not occurr to the reader until the last page is turned. It was; it is an excellent work of historical fiction that is a must read.
