That was very intense and complicated and hard to read (not in a difficulty way, but in an emotional way).

Interesting story of young female Jew spying as a German boarding school student but I couldn’t get invested in the story.

Excellent historical fiction. Excellent YA. Sarah is interesting, infuriating, and incredible. The conceit of a spy in Nazi Germany isn't new, but the narrative felt different in Killeen's hands. Both more raw and languid. Definitely recommend if the time period is of interest, or your enjoy female-fronted spy stories!

I didn't finish Orphan Monster Spy because it was just a little weird. I mean, who's going to trust a random stranger who shows up in an alley in the middle of a war in the middle of the night??!!?? Also, the school really bothered me because it one of those things where the adults didn't do anything at all. I just don't like that kind of thing at all because it seems really unrealistic. The book was also just a little too violent for me. I mean, it wasn't actually that bad, but I just didn't want to read about people ripping out hair out of other peoples' heads until their eyes start bleeding, or thinking they accidentally killed someone who was trying to kill them. Idk. I just didn't like that. Finally, there was a creepy music teacher, who was just a little too interested in the girls...
Overall, I just didn't like this book enough to finish it and a lot of it really bugged me.

whoa. this was intense!! but in the best of ways. listening to the audiobook was tough at times - the reality of violence, of war, of fighting between jews and nazis and spies... it was crazy, and not always fun. i never knew what was going to happen next but sarah was so strong and brave!! loved her character.

Actually a pretty good read I started reading it before I said on goodreada because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t another book I would just stop reading and it actually wasn’t! Really good read

Wow! I have no words for the thrilling rollercoaster of a plot that I just went through. This book was incredibly captivating. Sometimes it did get too violent, but in retrospect it was perfectly appropriate for the time period.
