Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

The Road We Took by Cathy A Lewis




The Road We Took by Cathy A. Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This story is a fictionalized account of the author’s father’s experience. Set in pre-World War Two, it takes place is Germany, Austria and Hungry. A German teen meets an American Boy Scout and a friendship blooms. The depth of friendship is beyond belief and is inspiring. The German teen and his father meet a disastrous fate with the American teen and his father attempting to intervene.
Tied into the story are the fates of several characters of Jewish background and the horrific discrimination they face.
 
The level of hatred shown by the Nazis is sad but true. Unrelenting hate and consistent telling of the huge lie that Jews were responsible for all of post-World War One Germany’s ills underpins much of the stories drama.
 
Gangs of gun toting brown shirts and jack-booted Gestapo all following a moral less leader provide a wealth of villains.
 
It was an interesting look at Germany and the rise of a  narcissistic  despot.
