Hi Zohar - I recently read and quite enjoyed The Plot against America. What did you think about it?

9> Hi Zohar - I'm a bit late getting back to you. Enjoyed reading your review and agree that it was quite nostalgic. I also enjoyed that the novel was told from the young boy's perspective.
I had just read Dominion which is another alternate history set in a Fascist Britain, (Churchill never got to be PM and the British signed a treaty rather than continue fighting).

avatiakh - funny, I just heard something about Dominion last week on NPR and wrote a note down to look it up. Thanks for the recommendation.
