I couldn't get past page 250. Turgid, glacial prose. Since it was about an Important Topic (World War 2, the Holocaust), it used this as a justification to dump a garbage barge-size heap of literary pretentiousness on the unwary reader. It looks thick and heady, but avoid at all costs.

kswolff didn't like this book, but I am a sucker for long drawn-out sagas about war, so I went stoically through to the very end. I didn't suffer from any longeurs. Maybe I am too forgiving.
