This book is great for anyone who wants the gritty action of World War 2 and even though it's aimed at kids, it's not watered down at all. The dead bodies pile up more and more throughout, as does Otto's injuries! Strangely enough, Leni and Angelika never seem to injured, compared to Otto, who gets every injury you can think of thrown at him. And these are supposed to be kids!

Hitler's Angel is the story of two refugees who have managed to get to England and safety. The girl, about 14, had come with her family, Jews from Vienna, able to escape Hitler's clutches when the Nazis entered Austria in 1938. The boy, 15, escaped by getting a ride on one of the small ships carrying out the rescue mission at Dunkirk in 1940

The problem with this book, I think, is that it's aimed at a younger audience (and an audience without an English degree - the writing made me cringe) and that's fine, but for me it was very clunky and clichéd to read and just didn't flow. I hate that word but it really didn't. I'm pretty sure I would've disliked it when I was ten as well. The entire plot was unrealistic and rushed and large parts of it felt like a list of names and places, as if Osborne was focusing more on the facts of WWII th...more
This is a satisfying and suspenseful thriller, centring on a fascinating premise which was handled (and concluded) with intelligence. Good to read a YA adventure story where both boy and girl can be truly adventurous, and where teenagers take the initiative. I was especially drawn to the secondary character of Ludwig Straniak, who seemed to be parachuted into the plot himself as a interesting and disruptive factor. Would have liked to hear more from him. Recommended for anyone who likes books th...more
William Osborne's Hitler's Angel is well written with a good idea. But the middle and the ending were disappointing.
A great read with real nail-biting suspense at the climax. It is thought-provoking: a human side to a dictator?
Book is easy to read, not much difficult vocabulary
If you do not understand the german language, it is recommended that you do not get this book
If you hate sadism and death, this book isn't for you too
Nice Plot overall

A good page turner with an unexpected ending.
For what it is, an entertaining read.
really good
Brilliant
Intense action-packed! There was never a dull moment in this book! One of the best books I've ever picked up for sure! There was a very nice blend of action, adventure, friendship/love...
Although this is another older children/young adult story set in Europe in WW2, it is a story unlike any other I have read. Two teenagers are recruited as undercover agents to break into a convent and 'rescue' a young girl. Well-written and a page-turning read.
I'm sure this is a brilliant book but it's me. My specialist subject for my degree was Nazi Germany and I just can't suspend belief enough to be able to enjoy it
