disneydream06Well, book No. 5 went quicker than I expected. :p
I just finished reading Eva Braun by Heika B. Gortemaker.
I can't say I was blown away by it. It really wasn't a biography of Eva Braun in my opinion.
She basically talked about Hitler's inner circle of peoples and then insinuated what Eva's relationship was/might have been with them. Also she rejected all the bios or mentions of Eva Braun in other people's bios as falsehoods. Yet as far as I am concerned she didn't really provide any facts to show differently or provide any new stuff that wasn't already know about her.
As a historical look at Hitler's inner circle it was an okay book. As a biography of Eva Braun it was kind of lame.
In my humble opinion. Of course how do you write a biography about a person when there is not hard evidence about them. Almost everything is hearsay and mostly from people trying to cover their own butts after WWII?
Oh well...
I would grade it C.
Book List 2012:
1. Schulz and Peanuts by David Michaelis
2. The Avengers: Too Many Targets by John Peel and Dave Rogers
3. The Journey of Crazy Horse by Joseph M. Marshall III
4. Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett
5. Eva Braun by Heika B. Gortemaker
