I picked up a novel that I thought might be interesting and very helpful to me as I am working on a book in a similar scope at the moment. However, after only a few pages, I had to put the book down. It was all too disturbing for me.
I understand that what I was reading was real and is an awful, awful moment in history, but for some reason, I don't feel like reading this novel was going to be uplifting in any way. I've read other books concerning the Holocaust including other survivor accounts of Auschwitz, but this put me over the edge in a matter of pages. I doubt I will ever return to this novel, although I am sure there is a multitude of interesting and important information in those pages. It is just too dark and daunting for me to read it...especially before bed.
