In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson

4.0

I won this as a First Reads giveaway. This is nonfiction told in a very readable format. I wasn't expecting to enjoy reading this since nonfiction works are sometimes rather boring. However, Erik Larson has done an excellent job telling about Hitler's rise to power, through the eyes of William Dodd a newly appointed American Ambassador to Germany and his family. A very interesting and readable work.
