**__Rating:__** 3 Stars **__Summary:__** This book is an alternate-history of what might have happened had the Axis powers won World War II. The Nazis and Japanese have divided up the world and are the two super powers in the midst of their own cold war of sorts. The story takes place in 1963 (the year it was written in real life) and follows a couple different characters. All of the characters live in the western end of the former United States, which is primarily under Japanese control. A recurring item was this guy that wrote a book called the "Grasshopper Lies Heavy" which was an alternate-history inside this alternate-history about what if the Allies had won the war, but it still wasn't exactly like real life. It's confusing, but the point is to make you think what is real and what isn't.  **__ Review: __** This is a really interesting subject, and the book isn't bad. But it does have a slow pace to it, hence the only 3 stars. It is actually a really deep story and makes you think a lot. The morals and lessons are pretty good and it uses real history to build a world of fantasy in an alternate-history. I would recommend it if you have the patience for a slower book that doesn't have much action in it.
