I finished the book late last night. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. I guess my first impression is that it read more like a love story than an actual account of Holocaust happenings, despite the fact that it was based upon true characters and true events. It alluded to the crematoriums, but it basically glossed over what they were for, you know? And there was one scene that was so unrealistic that it just annoyed me. In one of the camps the main character was in, he just got sick and tired of their bullshit so he went to the back of the camp, lifted up the fence and walked away peacefully. Simple as that. Just like walking home from the dog park. I've read a lot of books on the subject and this one felt like it could be groomed into a Disney movie.
