From the Wrap it Up Bookbox started by bookstogive. Have not read any of Follett's books, but this looks like a good one to test the waters with.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

"A book is a mysterious object, I said, and once it floats out into the world, anything can happen. All kinds of mischief can be caused, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. For better or worse, it's completely out of your control." -- Paul Auster

I finally got a chance to read this and these were my thoughts: Better than I expected. Some of thay is that Follett comes by his reputation as an author honestly. Good level of suspense. Certainly the ultimate outcome of WWII is not a source of suspense, but the fate of these specific people was. The character who surprised me the most was Peter Fleming. It helped me see how ordinary bystanders coukd get caught up in supporting the Nazis, even on a minor level.

Adding to the nearest Little Free Library just because.

found in a free little library

Caught!

This book came to me today from an Aspen Hill (Silver Spring, Maryland) neighbor who brought a total of seven books to share with the Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720). Thank you so much!

-----------------

Hi Six! A frequent visitor (Thamyres) to my own LFL brought me a book of yours today. What fun!

My husband likes Ken Follett so I'll see if he wants to read this book before I release it to the Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720). Tee hee!

-------------------

Just a note to say that the BC label in this book indicates that it was originally registered in 2010 by Bookcrosser svoight. I can't pull up any such name in the member roster so I'm just guessing that svoight = bookstogive.

Journal Entry 7 by wingSqueakyChuwing at Rockville, Maryland USA on Sunday, April 12, 2015
Haha! I was just talking to you, bookstogive, today on the Little Free Library Stewards Facebook page...and up pops a book you gave me (but not directly)! My husband started reading this book tonight. After he finishes it, it'll be bound for my Little Free Library of Twinbrook (#7720) again. :D

What's funny is that you didn't give me this book. It got to me from fellow Bookcrosser 6of8 who is in BCinDC, my local BookCrossing group. She put it in a Little Free Library in the city where she lives. Then a frequent visitor to *my* LFL picked it up and left it in my own LFL. What a quirky way for it to get to me!

My husband read ten pages of this book and said he doesn't like it so he's not going to read it.

Journal Entry 12 by Derwoodsman at Rockville, Maryland USA on Sunday, September 24, 2017
A fairly interesting novel about the early days of the air battle over England and Europe during World War II. What is that secret air defense weapon the Nazis have deployed in Denmark, you ask? How can the British protect their bombers? Read on...
I picked up this hardcover copy at the DC Metro Bookcrossers' meet-up today in Rockville, MD. See the correct dust cover art at left. Thanks for passing it on, SqueekyChu.
