Fort Wayne is Seventh on Hilters List- what a book

Michael Martone did a wonderful job when writing this book. He puts a lot of imaginative details into this writing. As you are reading the story seems to come alive. He adds many detailed and interesting details. This book is composed of many short stories about Indiana. Martone adds some of the most different characters. In the story Fort Wayne is Seventh on Hitler's List, Martone talks about his grandfather and how he keeps many scrapbooks from the WWII era. Martone travels through the scrapbooks, and talks about all the pictures, but more importantly why his Grandfather was so obsessed with this era. In a way it seems that Martone himself becomes obsessed as well. Over all, this book allows you to be creative and travel to a place where you may have never been before. It was an excellent read!
