Staff Review: The Good German

October 4, 2021 Words Worth Books
The Good German.jpg

Title/Author: The Good German - Dennis Bock

Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Alternate History

A historical tweak around Hitler’s attempted assassination in 1939, this novel imagines that it was successful, and looks at the fallout it may have lead to Germany winning WWII. Mainly set years later in a very different Toronto of 1960, it asks the question: what if heroism backfires? This novel has a lot of depth, moxie and strong characters.

One of the best things about independent books stores is the personal touch. The staff at Words Worth, we’re readers! We love books of all types, not necessarily just the biggest sellers of the moment. On this page, you can find our hand written reviews, see what we’ve been reading, and what we think you should be as well!

We will be adding reviews regularly. Feel free to read through them all (they’re pretty short), or, if you’re looking for something more specific, use the search feature below to search for Literary Fiction, or LGBTQ+, or Fantasy, or Mystery, whatever strikes your fancy.

And come back soon, to see what new titles we’ve been reading.
