Very difficult to read. I understood that they wanted to show the atrocities of the war, but I felt it was a bit too descriptive.

While historically insightful, the narrative felt somewhat disjointed. The characters lacked depth, making it hard to fully invest in their journeys.

A powerful story of resilience. The characters felt so real, facing impossible choices. Some parts were slow, but overall a worthwhile read. The translation was great too.

I struggled to connect with the characters initially. The historical context is fascinating, but the pacing felt off at times. Not my favorite Nabokov.

I loved learning about a new perspective of WWII. I didn’t know Jewish partisans existed, and I’m glad I do now. It made me cry.

A difficult read, emotionally. The constant struggle and moral ambiguities were heavy. But it’s important to remember these stories.

Nabokov’s writing is excellent, painting a vivid picture of the war. But the constant descriptions of hunger became tedious, detracting from the plot.

Primo Levi brought a unique perspective to WWII fiction. I learned a lot. It felt long at some point. It can be hard to read.
