The style of Keneally's writing is different from the popular "fast read" style that is so pervasive today, so it took me a chapter or two to "get to know" his voice. Once I understood his style I revelled in his storytelling, despite the desperate subject matter. Keneally includes true anecdotes to build the history that is the Holocaust, and although thoroughly shocking and previously unknown facts are included, this is a history that can be read with the enjoyment of getting to know the characters as Keneally sees them.
Before I read this book, I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust. Reading this book made me aware how much I didn't know, and made me come away thinking how important it is for everyone to read and learn - in depth - about the Holocaust, and reflect on its meaning to us today.
I would recommend this book to everyone: even if you have seen the movie, there is much more in the book than could be included in the movie.
