The first part of Code Name Verity is about Queenie. Queenie has been captured and is being held by the Nazis. The first part is her confession and details about England's war plan. I was amazed about the detail that Wein put in there. I admit that it took me some time to get into Code Name Verity. I didn't fully understand what was going on. The second part really helped me understand the first part. This is definitely a book I want to read again.
I didn't cry. I did gasp once. The writing, the characters were amazing. Code Name Verity will be on my top 10 list for this year.

This is my second read for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.
I've heard a lot of good about this book too. Will have to check it out soon.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many good things about this one
ReplyDeleteI've got to read this one this year. It is on my "the ones that got away" list from 2012. I'm sure I'll love it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard such great things about this one, but haven't read it yet. Although from what I've heard this is definitely the type of book I won't regret reading.
ReplyDeleteYour review sealed-the-deal...must read this one!
ReplyDeleteYes, this book was fantastic, and it made my "best of 2012" list! I made my daughter read it, and she loved it, too. You do really need to just go with the flow, and eventually it all falls into place.
