A review by tales_of_monika
The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
4.0
In all honesty I expected more. I heard a lot of good things about this book but to me it just seemed.. bland? I know it's a true story so I couldn't expect more to happen. I didn't like the style of the author's writing. It seemed too casual and lacked depth. But maybe that was done on purpose.
It was quite scary when it hit me that this was a real story. The worst part was when Lale had to interact with Mengele. Since I first came across this man during my history lessons I've been absolutely terrified of him and what he did to people. To think that this man was in such close proximity to him sent shivers down my spine.
There's no doubt that Lale was a very lucky man. Despite being put in a concentration camp he managed to find love and escape death and trust me, he could have had it way worse in the camp itself.
