From childhood to adulthood, one would expect a more profound and impactful novel from someone who has lived through the persecution and genocide that the Nazis inflicted on the Jews. However, what emerged was a simple and monotonous story, almost like a religious knowledge book, a writing that seems to be a promotional novel about Judaism with quotations from the Talmud. I didn't like it.
The description of the events lacks depth and fails to truly convey the horror and tragedy that the Jews endured during that dark period. It reads more like a dry recitation of facts rather than a vivid and engaging narrative that would draw the reader in and make them feel the emotions of the characters.
Perhaps the author intended to present a different perspective or focus on certain aspects of the Jewish faith and history, but in doing so, they sacrificed the overall quality and appeal of the novel. It is a missed opportunity to tell a powerful and important story in a more compelling way.
