The secret Holocaust diaries

Boring and lacking continuity

I wanted badly to like this book. It had good parts but the unnecessary foot notes broke up the parts that would keep you engaged. It jumps from her first hand diary to her family background giving the reader a feeling of some one moving from a good story to a history lesson.

I don't want to say anything bad about this book, but I can't say anything great about it either. It wasn't easy to read for me. It didn't flow well, but that can be because she translated the book herself. I found myself skimming over parts because, I hate to say it, I was bored silly. This is one of those books you just feel like you're supposed to like it, rate it 5 stars, but you feel guilty because you can't.
