Quite a harrowing tale as it retells the story/life of Lale and Gita and their survival of one of the most brutal acts of human history. In amongst all of the horrors of this story one fact remains and shines like a beacon...they both survived. Miraculously somehow they survived and lived to tell this tale.
I was quite disappointed with this novel. After all the hype, I thought I should read it and purchased the YA Edition for the library. I'm not sure how this novel has been so revered though ... I skimmed parts to get it finished.
A harrowing and compelling plot although I am not that fond with its storytelling (third-person point of view and too straightforward for me) but I still love that it digs into the notorious German death camp, telling a story of hope and survival, love and friendship, also on trust and courage.Fast-paced with great characterization, short sentences which kind of a ticket to fast read this (but still I am a procrastinator reader tskk), the love story was lovely and as it was a fiction based on a
3.5These books are important, books like these finally tell a tale of these people, painting a picture of the horrific events at the camps, I was speechless after reading.This book is based on true events, there really was a Lale and Gita. It's so compelling that once you get into the story, you don't get out. I had never read books that talked of everything in the camps, and if I had, they definitely differ from this.The plot follows Lale Sokolov, a New imprisoned in Auschwitz-Birkenau (also kn...
Very engaging
An absolute tear-jerker. The lengths Lale had gone to for freedom. His love for Gita melts my heart.
Adored this book. So powerful. Gets your attention immediately and guides you into a personal history from a perspective you wouldn’t have thought of.
An extremely powerful and important read.
Thank you to Allen and Unwin for letting me read and review this book. The Tattooist of Auschwitz has been the greatest book I have read this year so far. I was very apprehensive about starting it because of the topics it covers, but I absolutely loved it. Lale’s story is definitely a story that every person should read.This book was a lot of firsts for me, the first war story I’ve read outside of High School and the first book to ever make me cry. Yep it made me cry.This book definitely isn’t f...
I didn't read the young adult edition. I read the actual book, but I don't know how to change this to the not young adult version. This book was a page-turner, exciting, heart-breaking, and based on a true story. How people could be this evil and lie down to sleep at night is beyond me.
This was a very well written story! I would give it five stars but reading it straight after the three sisters the stories seemed quite similar. Heather Morris is a very gifted author!
Such a captivating read, I could not put this book down.A beautiful story of love in hell on Earth. Something that really touched me was how all the pain and unimaginable suffering they faced and all their horrible and wonderful life experiences made their life after Auschwitz so wonderful. Reading their sons afterword was so moving. To see all the love and life they poured into their family even after everything was so warming to me. 10/10 read, I feel very lucky to have been able to read this
I enjoyed the love story between the characters and appreciated that the writer kept the seriousness of the Holocaust in the story. The book is definitely a quick read and you get so involved in the character's journey that you don't want to stop reading. I enjoyed the conversations at the end of the book with the writer and the son. This little addition gave the story even more depth and connection. Great read!
Flawless hero character. Slovakian. Survival.Story: The story begins in a cattle car, stuffed with human passengers soon to be prisoners. They don't know where they are going but one man remains positive and hopeful among the group. Lale, whose life, along with those standing alongside him, will become a matter of survival, day by day, in Auschwitz.Language: This book has a low lexile rating. I read the YA version (by accident) and for the first hundred pages I was disappointed at how simplified...
Well this is a difficult one to review! I think it had so much potential, that it unfortunately didn’t quite live up to. Bad bits first, so I can finish on a positive.1. I kept waiting for the story to go somewhere. Ok, so I know this book was based on real and terrible events, but it reads like a simple description of Lale’s time at Auschwitz, rather than as a novel - I don’t feel like there is a climax as such. I also don’t feel like it’s impressed upon the reader very well how terrible the ev...
