The hardcover publication of How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone launched Stanisic as an exciting and important new voice in literary fiction and earned exuberant praise from readers and critics alike. Now in paperback, Stanisics debut about a boy who experiences the Bosnian War and finds the secret to survival in language and stories is bound to dazzle a whole new readership.For Aleksandar Krsmanovic, Grandpa Slavkos stories endow life in Viegrad with a kaleidoscopic brilliance. Neighbors, friends, and family past and present take on a mythic quality; the River Drina courses through town like the pulse of life itself. So when his grandfather dies suddenly, Aleksandar promises to carry on the tradition. But then soldiers invade Viegrada town previously unconscious of racial and religious dividesand its no longer important that Aleksandar is the best magician in the nonaligned states; suddenly it is important to have the right last name and to convince the soldiers that Asija, the Muslim girl who turns up in his apartment building, is his sister.Alive with the magic of childhood, the surreality of war and exile, and the power of language, every page of this glittering novel thrums with the joy of storytelling.

I really wanted to love this book, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. Some passages felt tedious, and the plot could've been tighter. It's okay, just not as captivating as I hoped it would be.

Interesting but Slow at Times
This book has some great anecdotes, but there were moments where it felt a bit slow. Still, I appreciated the depth of character development. It's worth picking up if you're into historical fiction. Just be prepared for a few lulls!

Mixed Feelings
I found the book to be well-written but a bit hard to get into at first. The grammar and style are lovely, but some parts dragged. It's not bad, just not what I expected. Maybe I'm just not in the right mood for it?
