Reviews for Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
4.5/5
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Didn't like it. Too short on Dietrich Bonhoeffer motivations to be a spoke in the wheel. Too little about that process of resistance that was real. Characters portrait in the book gave interesting insights about the process that transformes you into a monster. Remind me a lot of Ordinary Men, a book a read a month a go, which was much more profund in that regard.
