The Druggist of Auschwitz: A Documentary Novel by Dieter Schlesak

3.0

It was a good book. I didn't particularly like the 'fiction' mixed in with the documentary part - I thought I would but in the end it just didn't work for me. The book comes off as quite wordy at times. I know a lot of it is testimony, but some of it was unnecessary. The focal point was lost at times, I found. It was still a quite moving book and it truly showed the horrific side of the Holocaust, but I just think I would have liked it more if it was a straight documentary novel.
