Fast-paced, powerful, gripping and so beautifully written. I could relate to it a lot, particularly in the context of how I feel about certain ideas these days. On many levels, the narrative of the human condition described in the book can be seen all over the world today as well. I know there are many books about the holocaust but this was my first read on the topic and I really enjoyed it.
Wondering if the movie does justice to the fine story telling.
I give it 3 stars because I enjoyed reading it. I found it interesting but it also reminded me of the saying ‘take everything with a pinch of salt'. Some conclusions seemed far fetched and unconvincing but more importantly it begs that we question stuff. Also, in today's age, when data is available on almost everything, we should try to analyse it and use it to solve real world problems. Also, I do understand the idea that there's an incentive attached to everything people do. It doesn't necessarily have to be tangible.
