A review by juliancheltenham
The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littell

1.0

I couldn’t do it; the blow by blow accounts of the Second World War, the endless horrific accounts of the murder of Jews and the entirely unsympathetic narrator made this book unreadable for me. If it had been 200 pages long I would have stuck with it but at more than 900 pages long, I couldn’t. This book also disturbed my sleep and gave me nightmares.
