  1. Manasvi Saboo

    An unflinching look at a dark chapter of history. Be prepared for graphic content. The survivors’ stories are ultimately what make it worthwhile.

  2. Parjeet Singh

    The book’s subject matter is horrific and heart-wrenching. Though difficult, it’s a crucial reminder of the atrocities of the Holocaust and those who survived.

  3. Kumar Kartikeya

    A very disturbing account of the atrocities that took place during the Holocaust. It is hard to read but important so that history does not repeat.

  4. Gagan Khanna

    While informative, the writing style felt somewhat detached, making it hard to fully connect with the twins’ experiences.

  5. Ankit

    Children of the Flames is disturbing and essential. Wyndham doesn’t shy away from the horrors, but also highlights the twins’ strength. Highly recommended.

  6. Kumar Priyanshu

    A chilling account. The author did a solid job weaving Mengele’s story with the twins’ suffering. It sticks with you long after you finish reading.

  7. Atharva M Deshkar

    I found it informative, though sometimes overwhelming with the details of the experiments. It offers a balanced perspective on Mengele and his victims.

  8. Aniruddha Khohwal

    This book is well-written and researched. It provided detailed information about the horrible Nazi experiment on twins and their life after that.

  9. Shashank Kannoji

    A tough read, detailing Mengele’s cruelty. It’s important to remember, but emotionally draining. The survivors’ resilience shines through the darkness.

  10. Dipra Halder

    Children of the Flames will stay with you long after you finish. Very informative and interesting. The author did an excellent job.

  11. Kaushik Roy

    It’s a tough subject but the author wrote it with great care. It is graphic but accurate. The writing could have been better.

  12. Shubh Walia

    It’s an emotional roller coaster. Wyndham successfully portrays both the evil of Mengele and the unwavering spirit of the twins. A must-read.

  13. Dibyendu Bose

    A gripping read that sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the Holocaust. Some sections were repetitive, but overall, a powerful book.

  14. Disha

    This book left me speechless. The sheer scale of Mengele’s depravity is shocking, but the twins’ resilience is equally inspiring.

  15. Sanjeev Kumar Pal

    It was a difficult book to read, but important to understand history. Some parts were a bit dry, focusing more on Mengele than the twins themselves.

  16. Pallavi Singh Rana

    A harrowing but important read about a dark period in human history. The strength of the survivors is amazing to witness.
