Almighty:Allmachtig was one of the better historical novels that I have read. I like the level of research that went Almighty:Allmachtig. Wright really immersed the reader in the pre-WWII setting and the horrors of the time when some people believed that those with disabilities or birth defects were not ‘people’ but ‘things’, ‘things’ to be eliminated. Instead of focusing on the Jewish Holocaust, as many in this genre do, this book instead focuses on the equally tragic eugenics programs and handicapped genocide of the Nazi party. But it's not all history - the main plot also goes deep into the compelling characters, their friendships and their relationships. If you enjoy historical fiction, Almighty: Allmachtig is well worth the read! Great pool-side read.
