The CodeBreakers Secret

 Hi all,

    The Codebreakers Secret is a WWII book set in Hawaii written by Sara Ackerman. This book follows Ackerman's pattern of writing about Women in WWII. The book follows the war in the Pacific. Isabel Cooper, our protagonist, is a code breaker working in Pearl Harbor in the year 1943. They are in a race against time to break codes found in enemy transmissions to slow down and take down the enemy. She is motivated to avenge the death of her brother, but is soon brought into other secrets with the people she works with. 

    I am an avid WWII book reader as I find the topic extremely interesting, but for some reason, this book didn't have the same lure to me. I found myself slowing down and not wanting to read as some parts of the book were confusing, and the motivations for the characters to do what they do weren't always clear. This made it hard to read sometimes and caused me to take a break from the book. Maybe if I read the whole book through immediately, it would have made more sense and redeemed itself, but even when I worked to finish it, I still found myself questioning whether I was really enjoying myself. 

I personally wouldn't recommend reading this book, but if someone who has read it wants to try and change my mind about it, feel free to leave a comment down below. I would love to hear differing opinions.
