Summary: amazing read
Review: I just want to say that this book was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who has a heart in this topic as well as people who just want to read. Also I just want to say that I am truly disappointed as to what Sophia from Salem, Oregon said about it. I though that I met all the ignorant people in this world, but Sophia from Salem is by far the worst of all of them. What you said Sophia is disgusting and I am sure that your priest did not encourage you to say that.

Summary: Incredible Writing
Review: This is incredible writing. So good, in fact, that I wonder why he has not won a second Nobel Prize for Literature to go with his Peace Prize. I too agree that although this is by nature Holocaust Lit, it belongs with the classics of all world literature by merit of its eloquence and lifetime themes. Such themes are borne out especially in the name/identity crises of Gavriel and Gregor and the mother as sexual person characterized by Ileana. I recommend this book to every lover of great literature, unequivocally.
