Due to the lack of time it took me a month to finish this book. I didn’t get the chance to properly immerse myself into it. I might’ve enjoyed it otherwise. :/

The story of the Holocaust as told by a young Jewish-Hungarian boy who has a surprisingly comical view of the events surrounding him.

[Samantha · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of my most favorite fictitious memoirs. It's right on up there with The Tin Drum!
