• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.0

I've been wanting to read this book for so long, and I was a little bit disapointed. It comes from the main character : it was hard for me to get attached to him (mainly because of the way he talks about women that I found very patriarcal).
Also I found the writting very simple (it rarely bothers me when I read, but here it did).
This book is not too long to read. Some parts of it are hard as it depicts the life on a concentration camp, but the main focus is on the love story, which, for me, make it easier to read compared to other books with the same subject.

I love how people who survived actually had the courage to share their stories.
