The title is such a whopper that I was embarrassed to type it in for a search!
But read the book and it makes perfect sense. Prepare yourself tho, no matter how much you think you know about the WW2 concentration camps....you will still be horrified. As we all SHOULD be. Shamed and horrified that stories like this actually existed.
At times a wee bit confusing due to unexpected time jumps, REASONS TO KILL GOD is an intricately written puzzle of a mystery! ( )

I almost abandoned this book at the end of the third chapter. It was just too much for me. I am a third generation Holocaust survivor, and as a lover of historical literature (mainly fiction), I am always eagerly reading books about the period of Second World War including the crimes of the Nazis. But this book opens with a violent blow - the hero of the book is the commander of a Nazi extermination camp that manages to escape, and years later when he stands on the stand in court, he tells from his perspective the story of his life. As I wrote, the beginning was not easy for me, at least not until I remembered it wasn't a real story. And so, because the story itself is fascinating and the writing is good, I kept reading until the end. And I'm so glad I acted this way. This book is excellent! ( )

An excellent, unexpected thriller. The type of books that read in one breath. ( )

No way you read it and remain indifferent.
This book deserves second and third readings. This book is a remarkable piece hidden under the guise of historical fiction. ( )

This book deserves a prize as the most different and surprising book I've ever read.
I think it doesn't matter what I'll write here as a review since I'll never be able to convey the feeling that I currently contain.

This book is a 140-pages of drama describes the perspective of its hero life from a Nazi criminal point of view. It is a story about a person whose life alienated him and turned into a monster. It is a horrible man that took his place among other beasts in Nazi party rule. Immediately after losing the war, he tries to deal with a world whose values ​​have changed and is no longer part of the customs. The hero tells us his life story while he is on trial in the shadow of a U.S court long after World War II ended. He doesn't renounce his actions and doesn't even understand what was wrong with it nor regret his evil deeds. During reading, the hero tells the reader about the history of his family life.

Ostensibly, the story supposed to cause the reader a deep shock or at least a rejection of the continuation of reading because it presents the Nazi criminal as the hero of the book and thus turns him from a cruel bastard sadist to a man deserve in living, which one can identify with. But the book won't make you feel this way, OH NO! It did everything many other books I read couldn't do; It retaliated my mind with feelings I thought I should never have. And yes, it is permissible to believe so, because once you do that, one realizes how much we can all be right there - walking in this evil monster's footsteps. Once finished reading you can finally understand how easy it is to depend on circumstances to replace one set of values ​​with another and for a moment to confuse your role as a human being with that of other mortals God.

I am now still overwhelmed by my thoughts. These are mainly philosophies about what is permitted and what is forbidden and about the price that we and our future generations will pay for our actions. ( )
