The Tattooist of Auschwitz: Now a major Sky TV series

Poorly written and a dull read. This was meant to be a screenplay that got changed to a book and you can tell. No substance in the story and all moves too quickly. Makes a concentration camp seem a bit more pleasent than it actually is. The writing is very basic too. Sad part is, its based on something true, but you feel its just all made up

Before I purchase a book, I always read the sample. The book starts off well, and I had the intention of buying it until I came across a word that is not suitable in decent conversation. It is really difficult to understand why authors want to fill their books with swear words. I, for one, do not enjoy reading such books and as such do not recommend it. Even though it seems to be an excellent book, the language used disqualifies it in my opinion.

This book offers itself as a historical document from one of the most troublesome times in recent history, from the perspective of a poorly written and poorly developed, (liking to wear suits isn't a defining characteristic) lale; Who falls in love in Auschwitz. It reads with pacing that would work well in a movie, but is truly strange for a book. you find out in the closing statements that it was originally written as a film that for over a decade that nobody wanted (maybe because of the sex scene, in a book about Auschwitz. Yeesh). I really didn't like this book when I read it, but I have to credit it for setting a pretty amazing scene of the camps, and giving great detail on the abuse that they faced.
