Customer Reviews

Absolutely loved Code Name Verity!

This book is for YA & adults. It is about friendship, in particularly, during wartime, which may make your heart ache & soar in the same paragraph. The characters draw you in & make you think, then the plot makes you THINK again! I got a little over halfway through the book & went back to reread excerpts here & there as I read the second half, just so I could fully see the bigger picture. I’m glad I own it because it’s allowed me to read it multiple times. There is cursing & brutal scenarios, but what may be expected during wartimes & given human nature, but I believe it is a beautiful book.

I loved this book.

Easy read, but gets you deep. The story grabs you and doesn’t let go. I’ve thought of this book years after reading it. Very interesting angle for an oft-written topic, with engaging characters that doesn’t rely on tropes.

Interesting but challenging for me

This book is informative about am aspect of the war that I knew nothing about and I am glad that I read it. Ultimately I enjoyed it but I had difficulty sticking with it and confess to scanning through some parts.
