The Boys from Brazil: A Novel | 
10-15-21: My 101st finished book of 2021! Holy crap-this book was good! Ira Levin, author of Rosemary‘s Baby, delivers a chilling book about the possibility of a second coming of Hitler through the use of children! I can‘t wait to find this movie. Riveting from start to finish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣
10-12-21: My new TBR pile! The tagged book is the cut off one at the top. 📚🎉💖
pickHere Levin has given us another far-fetched plot he makes feel plausible. From hiding in Brazil the vile Dr Mengele has a plan to ensure the rise of a new Aryan faction. He sends a team of 6 killers thru-out the world to murder 94 ordinary 65 year old men. It takes our hero, and the reader, half the book to find out why these men were targeted then the race is on to foil the plot. A little dated but well done. The last chapter is chilling.
It's my last week of work- from- home 😭 so I took advantage of a few minutes of backyard reading 😊
A quiet house, my second cuppa (mug purchased last weekend in Palm Springs 🧡), a new arrival for my TBR.... ah Saturday morning, I love you.
pickThank you so much to my wonderful friend @BarbaraBB who gifted this book to me. Written in 1972, in a time before cell phones, personal computers and other modern means of communication a rather old fashioned and sinister thriller. In similar bizarro vein of Stepford Wives, Levin imagines a plot to reinstate the Third Reich to world dominance. I quite enjoyed this #GenreBusting read. I‘d like to see the film- bet it‘s super kitschy!!!!

Thank you to my dear friend @BarbaraBB who was so sweet to send me a book I wanted to read but was out of print!!! I‘m so grateful for all the fabulous friends I‘ve made on Litsy 🙏🏻🧡 #HappyFriendsGiving #MuchLove
Well chuffed with these beauties! 😍 I loved Rosemary‘s Baby & Stepford Wives so I cant wait to read The boys from Brazil!! 👏🏻
Imagine finding out your son is a clone of Hitler....#Theboyismine #natureornurture #heatofjuly
I‘ve only read Rosemary‘s Baby and watched The Stepford Wives‘ adaptation. Have not read this, a story about a Nazi-hunter's pursuit of Dr Josef Mengele (the German SS officer and physician who earned the epithet "Angel of Death" from his gruesome medical experiments in Auschwitz). Seems like a gripping read and watch.

pickI have gotten really burned out by WWII/ Nazi novels lately, so I almost didn't read this. I am truly glad I did, because this was I interesting and fast paced and a little scary.
10-1-16: Found an old copy of this at a used bookstore inside the Winter Park, Florida library!!
