“Code name verity” is a book about a prisoner during World War II and how that war changed her life and the one from everyone close to her.

“Code name verity” was a good historical fiction. However, I was expecting something different from this book, I do not know what but definitely something different. The first part of the book was really difficult for me to get through, there were a lot of flashes to the past of the main character and the language was not easy either. Moreover, because I do not really fully understand the first part I could not fully understand the second part of the book. From what I did understand I liked the story but it was not captivating and not really interesting. In my opinion, it was another story about the World War II, and I know they are many people that love reading this stories that even when they are fiction they could have been truth. I am just not one of them, I like historical fiction but when they are about other thing different than the war, when they give some hope.


I recommend this book to those who love typical World War II stories, however if you do not you might have some problems like I did to get through with it.
