Short But Exciting

The Animals is a book that lacks length. I gave it a four because it's a really exciting book and a good historical fiction. It needs to be longer though.1. The setting is Germany 1944. The story is about the captain of a B-17 American bomber who gets shot down and crashes in Germany. He is brought to a German doctor and is treated and questioned by the Gestapo, Hitler's secret police, then he is informed of the German's secret plot. The assisantation of Winston Churchill. a German squadron is going to disguise itself as an American squadron of B-17's and crash into Churchill's house. I thought the story was very exciting and I was satisfied with it. An element that was represented in this book is suspense. You know it's the it's close to the end of World War Two and an American bomber pilot is being held in Germany. What's going to happen to him? I would recommend this book to those who like a good historical fiction.
