Review: the plot against america, philip roth

The Plot Against AmericaThe Plot Against America by Philip Roth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Plot against America is a book that's thorough in its world-building, even if its a parallel-world historical fiction.
The sense of dread pervades the entire book, and it goes beyond the perils of the period it's set in. It brings to mind the sense of having your freedoms stripped away, in any period and country, and even in today's world, it rings true.
I didn't give it a 5-star only because the ending felt a little flat to me. I didn't get a sense of conclusion, and even though it's not mandatory in a book like this, the ending was altogether too fast and it didn't have enough room to breathe. There was relief, yes, but it came from the situation itself and not for seeing the characters live on and well.
A great book, the first one I've read by Philip Roth, and I'll be sure to read more of them.
