This is one of those "it's me, not you" books. I've heard many great things about Code Name Verity but unfortunately, it's not the book for me. The novel started too slow for me, only keeping me interested when the narrative came back to the present because I wanted to know what was happening to the narrator. 
 The novel was just too slow and bogged down by irrelevant details. Despite a book set during WWII, I did not feel passion, sorrow, joy, or anything. It was just a very emotionless read for me. Still, I do believe that Code Name Verity may make a good read for others.
