A review by knkoch
The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.
I ran out of time on my first audiobook loan, and then when it came back around, two others came in that I want to devote time to much more.
This is just too grim, too much, too abhorrent. I picked this up in anticipation of watching the Oscar-winning film, but upon learning that the film is based on completely different characters, can’t see reason enough to finish. It’s hard to listen to such a long Holocaust narrative from the perspective of Nazi officers. I gave it a shot, but I don’t think it’s something I’m interested in further absorbing right now.
