I received  Bonhoeffer: Pator, Maryr, Prophet, Spy from Booksneeze so that I may provide a review.

I was so looking forward to reading this book as I have seen many reviews about it and the historical aspect piqued my curiosity.  Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in the author’s style of writing.  The book is told in 3^rd person and is very dry.  This could have been an exciting non-fiction book and I do hope a movie is made that will captivate the audience as I think a well written book could have. 

The book begins with long detailed writings about Bonhoeffer’s family background and tedious details to his childhood.  I was so bogged down by the testimonies of family and friends evaluating Dietrich’s life.  A quick synopsis would have been better leading up to the actual detail of his planning and effort to assassinate Hitler.   

This is one book where a Scripts notebook would come in handy!
