Excellent, remarkable, historical, engaging, profound, a real turned-page...!
I'm so glad I chose to re-read this brilliant book. I'd forgotten how well written and what a touching story it is. Although as I was reading a lot of it came back to me I was still able to enjoy it and experience it as though reading it for the first time. If you haven't read this do yourselves a favour and do so.

Beautiful book, almost as if they author lived during this time but viewed it from afar.

The book was amazing. I would highly recommend it. Gives an interesting insight as to how Hitler was able to take control of Germany.
