The Castle in the Forest: A Novel by Norman Mailer
My Goodreads.com review
I thought this book had an interesting premise. It is the story of Adolf Hitler’s youth told from the perspective of the demon that influenced the course of his life. This sounds dark and compelling. But honestly, this book was boring! It lacks momentum to begin with. Then, inexplicably, the story switches from the Hitler family to the coronation of the Russian Tsar. After a few chapters of this, I just could not go on. I stopped reading the book halfway through. My recommendation? Don’t bother…
