The plot to kill Hitler wasn't what I expected, but I still love it.
It about a pastor named Dietrich Bonhoffer, and what he went through from the day the war started to the day it ended. Every chapter it would tell you what happened in that year.
If you need some ideas for the writing assignment please read this book.

I love the history behind world war 2 and all its events, so I got into this book expecting an interesting story. It starts off pretty strong with a cool backstory to the main character but once he starts to grow up it all falls downhill for me. The pacing becomes very slow and most of the information becomes very boring and dragged out. I tried to stick with the book but after a while it became just tiresome, I wouldn't recommend this book.

In April 1943,Hitlers power began to affect everyone,including the unlikeliest man.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a scholar and a pacifist. But with the start of WWII threatening his friends and family Bonhoeffer must choose either his religion or the freedom of his fellow man.
If you like war, history and in depth topics this book is one to read. McCormick‘s research and understanding shines through the memoir of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an unlikely hero.

MissYaremcio I really like the summary you gave of this book! One thing to note for the future; tone is not necessarily captured by research, tone is how this research is portrayed by the author. Great work! 6y

I don‘t particularly consider myself a mood reader, but maybe I should. I‘ve had this book on my TBR almost exactly a year since picking it up at a school book fair, but today I finally opened it and read it straight through.

It is a fascinating true story of a man who stood by his principles and stayed in Germany to work against Hitler even when he had opportunities to leave and knew staying might cost him everything.

Crazeedi Bonhoeffer was a true hero at a time when you were in mortal danger. And he paid the price. A great man have you read this one

Bonhoeffer: A Biography

Daisey @Crazeedi That one is on my list too! It‘s just a bit more of a commitment than this one written for younger readers. 6y

Crazeedi @Daisey oh yes it is a definite commitment 😁 6y

Spring book fair class library book haul! I picked up some of these and my principal donated the others. I'm really excited about a few of the books in this stack, but I'm hoping my students snap them up before I get a chance to read them! Except for the tagged book, I might just take it home with me tonight.
