TWILIGHT OF EVIL by George Alexander
















TWILIGHT OF EVIL
by George Alexander
3 stars

I received Twilight of Evil from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.

What we believe to be the death of Hitler and the Third Reich may all be a lie. Twilight of Evil is the story of Adolf Hitler and some of his inner circle after the fall of Berlin. Hitler escapes and lives life in Argentina, along with Eva Braun and their daughter Uschi.

I'm sorry to say that this book just didn't do it for me. I found this story to be boring. It seemed to talk about Hitler like he was a good person. He is a loving father and husband, shows people appreciation even giving out gifts, and cries                                          over the death of his dog. Although he does get his comeuppence in the end. 

Sometimes the conversations were confusing and hard to follow. There were no breaks to holp you discern who was speaking.

I read this in ebook form and had many errors. Such as:
Ch. 8 Page 37 - Once we leave for Argentina, there will be going back to Germany for me. (should be - there will be no going back)
Ch. 11 page 45 - Stripping off his soiled uniform felt like made him feel dirty inside. (felt like not needed here)
Ch 27 page 111 - The Franz and Erich, two SS officers disguised as deacons (should be - Franz and Erich, the two SS officers)
Ch 30 page 133 - Their Palermo Hotel (should be - The Palermo Hotel)

These are just a couple. Although I will say the author did tell us in his preface that this is his first English novel.
