Fatherland Audiobook

" Gripping, chilling, thought-provoking and well written. I really enjoyed this book and a big plus was the way it was in no way predictable. "

" It makes you consider other options: what if Germany hadn't lost the war? It captures you and leaves you on the edge until the end. The character, March has depth and portrays magnificently his struggle between his sense of duty and his "obligation" towards his Reich obedient family and friends. "

" Thriller set in what-if 1960's Nazi Germany was a good read but never reached the heights of suspense expected. "

" Good, tightly written, pot boiler. Very enjoyable. "

" boy, that was realy cool! "

" Enjoyable enough thriller-mystery fiction, although towards the end it started to disappoint a bit due to following the genre a bit too closely. Still, worth the time it took to read it. "

" A very cool alt-history novel. "

" fantastic concept, full of tension and intrigue and possibilty let down by a pointless and drawn out ending that did not satisfy. "

" Unbelievably good. The best aspects of detective thrillers but written like literary fiction. Fascinating, bleak and desperately dark. The last 300 pages disappeared in one sitting "

" Loved everything about it. Sad to think, how much of that was factual "

" Set in an alternate universe where Hitler didn't die - that was enough to hook me in. The world that Harris creates is entirely believable and the story completely compelling. "

" I'm a sucker for Nazi what-ifs. A few of Harris's characters are more wish-fulfillment than well-conceived, but the plot is a doozy, and Xavier March is the most sympathetic SS officer I've ever wanted to mother hen. "

" Great fiction! It is not comprehensive in facts, but with that narrow vision it gives us feeling how it might have been. It also reminds us that great and horrid ideas are not dead, you can feel them lurking around. "

" Read for 15.2 task for Fall 09 reading challenge "

" Excellent. Couldn't put this book down, finished in a couple of sittings! "

" One of my favorite books of all time. It's a terrifying novel of historical what ifs. What if WWII had gone the way Hitler had wanted it to? The novel takes it up the world in 1964 or so, twenty years after the war ended and Nazi Germany won. "

" What if Hitler had survived and won the war - great plot for a book. Informative, original and thought provoking with lots of twists in a high chase detective story. "

" Thrilling and full of suspence. Couldn't put it down. "

" This was fantastic, eerie and a bit creepy. "

" A largely unremarkable mystery which was a real let down after a promising premise. Set in a post-WWII Germany which had won the war, the story concerns the investigation by a jaded, non-conformist, loner PI of an attempt to cover up the Holocaust. "

" fantastic concept, full of tension and intrigue and possibilty let down by a pointless and drawn out ending that did not satisfy. "

" An average cold-war spy mystery with an interesting setting: an alternative history where Germany won WWII and no one knows about the Holocaust. I wish Harris has done more with this interesting world/history. A good audio book for the commute, though. "

" When I see those racks of James Patterson novels at the airport I wonder why people spend so much time reading those when there are great novels like 'Fatherland' and 'The Yiddish Policemen’s Union' available. This alternate-history detective novel was both suspenseful and superb "

" To be honest I read this a long time ago so can't really remember it!! But I do remember I enjoyed. If that helps! "
