Review of 'The Man in the High Castle' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Interesting book! The alternative history premise was set up nicely throughout the stories of individual characters. Enjoyable, leaves the reader wanting more. It's interesting to read a 60s novel fifty years later. When written in 1962, WWII was still very fresh in everyone's mind. International crises, diplomacy, and military actions were in the forefront of the news, with the Cold War actions of the US and Soviet Union. When the possibility that the real-world great powers could destroy the world, even an alternate world where the Nazis dominate looks acceptable.

Looking forward to seeing the television interpretation via Amazon.
