Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. Thirteen-year-old Lafayette’s older brother, Charlie wouldn’t have done time at a correctional facility. I enjoyed the twins' parents' relationship, and the boys' friendship with Dagmar and Silke, though slightly clichéed, was nice at first. I can certainly see where the decay of this story truly began — when both the Nazi Party and the twins turned thirteen and the Nazi regime was officially installed.

It is ironic how the story plays with the idea that the Nazi Party grew up pretty much at the same time than Otto and Paulus.Miranda’s disbelief turns to fear in a split second when a meteor knocks the moon closer to the earth.

Two Brothers by Ben Elton – review | Fiction | The Guardian

Meet The Family Fang, an unforgettable collection of demanding, brilliant, and absolutely endearing oddballs whose lives are risky and mischievous performance art. On this same day the ‘DAP changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ("National Socialist German Workers' Party", or Nazi Party)’. It is probably the first WWII novel I have come to truly dislike, as there's always something in all of them that makes me feel a little empathy towards the characters or the situation itself. I am glad I read it as I still learnt a lot but overall but overall I was just a little disappointed. Jack was open, charismatic, selfish and pig-headed; Bobby was guarded, shy, polite and reserved to the point of reclusiveness.Reading the slow and inhuman the Jews were targeted left me feeling horrified and disgusted throughout the book.
