4.3 AVERAGE


This book was interesting. The ending has me thinking still, but it was a very quick read. It was direct and got the point across nicely. Still picking my brain a little bit and i would say it’s more of a 3.5 than a 4.

This short story by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor is a series of letters between two friends, one German the other Jewish during the World War and rise of hitler, will be a 10 to 30 minute read. Totally intense, so go read it!

Good short afternoon read. Also a fairly refreshing way to write about Nazism.

This was a quick read, and felt very relevant to todays culture in the US as well. Wow
challenging dark sad tense

A very clever look at German/American points of view in the 1930’s told in letters.
