protovulcan 's review for:

The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe
2.5
dark reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The second half of this book is actually an engaging read. Once I started I had to finish it.  The first half on the other hand is a slog to get through.  The author also unnaturally inserts Holocaust facts and it feels like I'm suddenly reading a wikipedia summary.
