Code Name Verity is definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time. I know it's only half way through May, but I am going to make the bold statement that this will be the best book I read this year. Amazing. I honestly cannot say enough good things about it. I don't want to oversell it and have people go in with elevated expectations, but I don't see how anyone could be let down.

Good Points

The story is gripping. Once I started reading, I could not stop. The first half of the book is told from "Verity's" perspective. She's supposed to be divulging British secrets to the Gestapo, but she's really telling the reader how she got to where she is now. It is a great technique. We get all the back story, plus what's happening in the Gestapo prison - it was engrossing.
