I got a little nervous when I saw many of the people who awarded "Goon Squad" book of the year did the same with "In the Garden of Beasts", but thus far I'm enjoying it. Seeing as this is nonfiction about real people, surely it won't become as pretentious or filled with unlikable dipwads the way "Goon Squad" was.

Finished the novel, just at the last few pages with a few additional pages. This was such a fascinating read.

Such a compelling read. I honestly think this particular era would make a fascinating television show. It's still hard to believe how someone as obviously crazy and sadistic as Hitler was managed to gain so much power without anyone doing anything to stop him.

I keep wanting to look various people up on Wikipedia but I have to stop myself so I don't spoil anything I don't already know. This is probably the most interesting nonfiction I've read in the past year and a half. I'm going to have to find some more books about the Hitler era of Germany.
