“The Alphabet House” by Jussi Adler-Olsen

5/5 stars
Oh my goodness, what an outstanding book! I loved it from beginning to end. It is the story of two English childhood
friends who leave home to fight in World War II. While on a recon flight over Germany, their
plane is shot down. You then follow
these best friends on their fight for survival both during the war and life afterwards. But don’t get comfortable thinking you know
what will happen next or how it will end because I don’t think it’s a
predictable read at all. It kept me
captivated and was hard to put down. I
would occasionally confuse who was who when it came to the German names, but I
was able to quickly correct myself and it never took away from my enjoyment of
the story. And I liked how it was told
from various points of view – it would lead to some small areas of duplicity of
the story line but it never felt repetitive.
I definitely highly recommend this one and wouldn’t be surprised if it
ended up in the movie theaters one day.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the
book for an honest review in return.
