Reviewed by Kathleen ✨Es fühlt sich fast falsch an, das Buch so gut zu bewerten - spielend in einer düsteren Alternativwelt, in der Deutschland den Zweiten Weltkrieg gewonnen hat -, aber Robert Harris ist nicht umsonst Bestsellerautor. Inhaltlich etwas anders als erwartet, unglaublich spannend, aber leider mit einem recht offenen Ende.
Reviewed by Carmen Huber2.5 ⭐️; das ganze Setting und die Geschichte war „nicht meins“. Ich fand die Umsetzung der Idee langweilig.
Reviewed by Es war auf jeden Fall sehr interessant, wie die Alternativewelt rund um Hitlerszeiten beschrieben wurde. Hab aber etwas anderes erwartet und war mit dem Ende überhaupt nicht zufrieden.
