FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
So Others May Live by Lee Hutch I really enjoyed this book and I loved that the narrator is from the United Kingdom because it made me get even more into the story. I am also the biggest fan of books like this that take place during WWII because it is one of my favorite times in history. I really enjoyed this book and I was sad when it ended because I really enjoyed these characters and the author’s writing. When I was listening to this book I had to slow down the speed of the book because I did find it hard to understand the narrator when I was listening to it at the speed that I usually listen to them at. I do love that this author included some of the horrible things that really happened to people during WWII but didn’t go into so much detail that made it hard to listen to. I would warn you that if you are triggered by things that happen in war than this might not be the book for you because he doesn’t go into a ton of details but there are some so be aware of that. Also if I being honest I loved this book but it didn’t wrap up all of the storylines and that bugged me. I am not sure if he is going to write another book in this series or if this is just a one-off book. So be aware that not all of the storylines get finished and it may leave you wondering what happened to the rest of the characters. If you reading/listening to books that take place in WWII I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
