I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In fact, I devoured it in a day. The characters were endearing and the setting was clever. A real feel-good story!
This book was LONG and sometimes tedious (lots of excerpts from correspondence) but well worth it. So much about Nazi Germany I didn't know, and Bonhoeffer himself is an inspiring character.
This book starts slow. At the half-way point, I wasn't sure I liked it. At three-quarters, I realized I really kinda loved it. It's beautiful in a way that breaks your heart wide open.
Dr. Meals does a good job making medical/biological information accessible and sometimes even entertaining.
Although I persisted, I just couldn't find either of the protagonists sympathetic enough to want to finish this book. It just felt more boring with every new page.
This was an excellent examination of the Church's posture toward LGBT people and the need for course correction. Really powerful.
