4.0

Short and sparse, this novel depicts the short life of a Nazi growing up in Iceland. The subject is kept at arms length, and we watch from a distance, the way an ordinary life turns too evil. It's not a book I can say I enjoyed, as the matter is difficult, but it's a book I'm glad to have read, and will ponder for some time
