The Fox by Adam S. Toporek

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Fox is a historical read that is set in 1933 in Germany and it is a very different read from what I normally read but I did enjoy reading it. The Fox did not take me long to read due to it being 116 pages long. The story is very interesting and is written well. I found the character Fox a very interesting and fascinating person. Fox is a rad Broadcaster and has to try to stay alive until someone comes to him. Good plot 4 stars. This is the first book I have read by Adam S. Toporek and I will read more in the future. Blog August, 1933. Seven months after Hitler’s ascension to Chancellor, Germany is almost completely Nazified. Friedrich Foxx, the most famous radio personality in the country, has been a part of this transformation—a brash voice for German rebirth. As the country he loves descends rapidly into a fascist dictatorship, Friedrich is brought face-to-face with the legacy of his words and is forced to make a decision—continue to support the madness or fight it. In clarion call for our times, author Adam S. Toporek revives the ghosts of the media’s past to lay bare the small compromises that fuel the creep of tyranny and to show the tragic ends to which propaganda and misinformation can lead.

I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f
