Sophie's Choice by William Styron
4.0

As a non native speaker, I found the style a little challenging, with somewhat convoluted sentences, yet extremely engaging.
I really enjoyed the way Styron wrote and talked about the Holocaust, taking a very different angle from is usually done about this period. It makes the readers think about what their own choices and what they would have done if born in Poland in the 1930s.
It definitely touched me and I highly recommend it.

However, the vivid descriptions, especially some sex scenes, could be a little too much for some readers.
