I wasn't sure what I thought about this book, until I reached the end and was surprised that I was disappointed I'd finished it.
The auschwitz violin tells of a man commissioned to create the perfect violin whilst imprisoned in the auschwitz nazi camp.
I found myself rooting for Daniel, and his friend within the camp willing them to complete the violin and be rewarded for it.
It felt a little bit abstract: I'm not entirely convinced that a violin would be commissioned within a labour camp. However this was a wonderfully little book, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I did.

A beautiful short story of a man doing something he loves while in a horrible place.

Note to self: olet nyt lukenut tämän (vahingossa) kahdesti. Tämä ei ole sinun makuusi. Älä lue enää kolmatta kertaa.

Sin más, la historia en si me ha gustado, pero ha habido partes del libro que no he entendido a parte de que se me ha hecho muy pesado al tener mucho texto narrativo y poco diálogo. Había unas dos lineas de diálogo cada 20 pág y eso no me gusta, ya que a pesar de ser un libro corto hace que se te haga pesado y cansado.

No es una de mis mejores lecturas del año ni quieriendo. Esto es un libro que me han pedido en el instituto y que aprovecho para completar mi objetivo del año y ya.
