Code Name Verity was definitely an interesting read for the summer. I chose this book for two main reasons. It is based on WW2 and actual stories from WW2, and it also takes a new spin on the idea of men fighting in WW2. Code Name Verity is about 2 women who are friends who fight in WW2 and eventually get stranded in Axis Territory by crashing a plane and by being spies. The pilot crashes and joins the French Resistance, and the spy gets captured by the Gestapo and is brutally interrogated. In the end, their paths meet once again, and something surprising happens.
When I first began to read this book, I had an optimistic lookout for the end. I believed that just like every other young-adult book(it would end happily). Sadly this isn't that kind of book. At the end of this book, I was disappointed, heartbroken, and just plain mad. I won't spoil it, but the surprising thing that I mentioned was not happy. But I think that is just another quality of this book. It was realistic, and that's one huge aspect of this book that I really enjoyed. Overall I really did enjoy this book, but it was very sad. I would recommend this book to people who have thick skin and really enjoy learning about history.
You described the book very well with spoiling it. This book looks interesting and I want to read it
