I'll be honest, I am a little disappointed in how this book has been written. I expected a detailed account of the three girls time in the Resistance, but it is really more of a general overview. It does provide some brief background information on each of the girls childhood and family lives leading up to their involvement, as well as mentions a few jobs that the girls performed for the resistance in passing, but it feels like a bit of an afterthought. Like a child who has written a book report versus a person who has spent years of her life interviewing and researching the subject and who was fortunate enough to personally know two of the three involved. I would have loved for there to have been more detail about how they actually became involved as well as details on missions, seductions and killings, instead of just saying Hannie rode her bike here and shot this person or lured this person to be shot by Fran. I guess it just feels incomplete to me.

OMG!! This book is incredible !!! I just couldn't put this down
There are obviously thousands of books about WW2 but this book is truly set apart from those. A real, human story I had not heard before
Such amazing bravery - and although a shallow thought - would make the most amazing film
Cannot rate highly enough - only sad I can only give it 5 stars - its truly deserving of more
I am disabled and unable to read the book because it is only available through a download using Adiko. Adiko is an app that cost money I can't afford. Sounds like a very good book. Sorry for any problems this may cause.
