I'm so sorry for the 2 star. However, despite the high potential of making a good book (real witness from Auschwitz with heart melting love story), the book turned out to be a cheap soft version of that it could be. First of all, all characters are poorly developed, lacking deeper details and emotions. Even Lale seems dump with all his 5 fluent languages. In stead of showing really meaningful episodes from his life before the war, the author prefers to tell how he was learning how to be a playboy. Secondly, there's no atmospheric build up. The whole time I felt like I'm reading about strict holiday camp where girls are giggling when boys pay them attentions, couples meet and have sex pretty much whenever they want, so easy to take food and gifts from village men and prisoners teach nazi how to flirt with girls (these all happened exactly like that in this book, I'm not exaggerating). There are no senses of terror, drama, horror and etc. This book is like a really very soft version of Auschwitz. Lastly, the whole story sounds very unreralistic. People were dying there every day, but the main hero and his sweetheart have been passing all difficulties with magical luck. Not to mention some logical mistakes within the book.
My verdict: the book is written like a lovestory for housewives who can't take things seriously. This book doesn't describe true Auschwitz with all its horror and etc. I've read dozen of books on the topic, and this one felt like its purpose is to enterntain rather than to tell an individual's story and aknowledge the sorrow of many lost individuals.6377
