dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

It is strange to attempt to rate a personal account of such horrors.  All I can say, is that this might be the most accurate depiction of human nature - in its best and worst. It is also a very unique and important testimony of the horrors of the holocaust, so I truly recommend everyone, but especially fellow history students, to read this.

Luin tämän muutama kuukausi sen jälkeen kun minut huumattiin baarissa. Väkivalta ei tasoltaan ole tietenkään sama, mutta Louis kuvailee väkivallan jälkeistä aikaa tavalla, jota en tiennyt ollenkaan mahdolliseksi. Tuntui siltä, niin kuin lukisin omasta elämästäni tapahtumia seuranneen parin kuukauden ajalta. Tunne oli niin vapauttava, alistava, traumaattinen kuin katarsista. 

Louis on ensimmäinen kirjailija, jonka tyyli on melko ajatuksenvirtamainen, josta tykkään. Kieli on kaunista ja tekee kuvauksista entistäkin riipivän.

The last 30% or so of the book was really good. the first 50% were mind numbingly boring. A lot of it should have been edited out. Most of the book felt like a filler episode.
