George Orwell, Julian Symon | 2013 | Biography

Extremely relevant for today
George Orwell is a master of deciphering complicated political structures, as seen through the Spanish Civil War. But what is more extraordinary is his prophetic ability, for only months later Britain was at the mercy of German bombs as he correctly predicted.

His first-hand account of fighting in the war makes him unique in his ability to be able to write about it unlike many of the other biased publications at the time. It is an extremely political book so it may not suit someone who wants to read about the emotional upheaval being on the frontline.

He truly is a genius ahead of his time.

The premise of this novel was so good, who wouldn't want to jump into a book? Though, it did give me 'Inkheart' vibes from the very beginning.
I think that's why I found this book to be just ok. Basically, the opposite of Inkheart occurs, but I think Inkheart was better written. The problem with this book might have also been the translation from German.
Book Jumpers, in this novel, protect literature, but for some reason, someone's stealing ideas. Of course, you don't really know why until the very end. It was completely predictable and I came up with a better ending in my head.

I had never heard about this true crime cases till I come upon  Ann Marie Ackermann most excellent book. The story begins in the German town of Bonnigheim in the year 1835 where the town is left shocked by the assassination of its most respected citizen it's mayor. The reader follows the twists and turns of the muder investigation as a killer is searched for. 

Eventually the investigation leads to the other side of the world and to one of Americans most respected Civil War heroes General Robert E Lee. The author has produced an excellent well researched study of the case and I would highly recommend this to other readers .
