Luther and Katharina
Book Review
I absolutely loved this book. Everything about it was superb.
It was written beautifully and drew me in from the first chapter.
Honestly, I was thinking this book was not going to be that
good. But it sure did impress me. Since it is a historical book I thought it
would be very stuffy and boring. But it was the complete opposite. It had great
historical aspects and kept my attention throughout. It felt like you were
right in the midst of the story unfolding.
I have never read anything like this or in this time period.
So I was kind of uncertain about it. I know as much about Martian Luther as the
next guy. So I was intrigued to see how she would portray him and his
character. Since most of the characters in the book were real, there must have
been some pressure in perfecting it. I think she did a beautiful job. I really
got a sense of who Martian Luther was. He wasn’t just an old monk that rebelled
against the church. He was a human with real feeling and went through tremendous
trails. I never realized how much persecution him and his family endured. It was
very eye opening.
When I was finished reading this book, I made sure to read
the author’s notes. I’m glad I did. In the notes it said that that most of what
happened in the book really took place. I really appreciate that aspect of this
book. It makes it ten times more enjoyable to know what you’re reading really
took place. I could really feel the effort and research that went into writing
this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great
historical book. There’s nothing I would change about it, it was perfect. I
give it 5 out of 5 stars.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
