Schindler's List

Rating:
Summary: Well written, moving
Review: The novel was very well written. It kept my interest, which is always good! Although I can't help seeing the evil Amon Goeth as the beautiful Ralph Fiennes! The two don't mix at all! Oh, well.

Summary: An important story- but poorly written
Review: Not as poignant as Night or as eloquantly descriptive as Approaches to Auschwitz, Schindlers List is as the back cover suggests- a book written for development into a movie. It was interesting to see where Speilberg took liberty. The author himself cautions that certain elements of the book were fictionalized, however this does not detract from the absolute horror the reader is put into. This is perhaps a decent introduction into Holocaust literature, but is by no means conclusive, comprehensive, or in the same league as Weisel or Rubenstein's work.

Summary: IT IS VERY VERY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The Title says it all, but the movie is better, believe me. What, you don't beleive a 11 year old?

Summary: Excellent
Review: Thomas Keneally, honoring the request of Schindler survivor Leopold Pfefferberg, researched and wrote this story of Oskar Schindler and never took a penny for it...Schindler was a good man but a flawed one, and this is made clear; he saved the lives of over a thousand but could not remain faithful to his own wife; but whatever reason he performed this act of rescue, the fact is he did it, and over 20 years after his death Schindler finally receives his just acclaim for decency for what he did for the Plaszow Jews, and gambled with his life and the mad commandant Goethe...reading it gives new meaning to the verse in the Talmud"To save one life is to save the world entire."

Summary: Ok fictional novel treated as historical account...
Review: I'll be lenient and say this book is alright.. I've read many books on the Holocaust and this book doesn't ranks among the best but still it's not bad. I'm hearing of legislators proposing that the MOVIE, which wasn't bad itself, be required viewing for all high school students. I don't understand why that should be necessary since it is a work of one man's imagination... But if the bill passes, that is absolutely fine... As long as 'They Dare to Speak Out' becomes required reading also...

Summary: It was the best book I have ever read.

Summary: Excellent historical treatment, captivating story
Review: I was glued to the pages of SL, but I was hungry for a deeper story that may or may not be born out by the facts. Why did Schindler do what he did, and why didn't he ever do anything of consequence before or after ? If anyone's interested, I'll expand. Jack

Summary: Schindler was truly sent by God.
Review: One of the best novels I ever read on the Holocaust. One man really does make a difference. Without Schindler hundreds of Jewish prisoners would have been exterminated in the death camps. A fast, easy reading book with characters who are simply evil incarnate. Schindler was a saint and the world should never forget what he did during the war.
