very good, very powerful and in some ways similar to the road by formal McCarthy which is so messed up that real life circumstances brought almost apocalyptic conditions on people

Started reading it on the 8th of May, the end of WWII aniversary. I wish I didn't watch the movie before rading this book. So detailed, so horifying, so heartbreaking, so unbelievable. I can't believe they did not include his dream in the film when his brother Henryk told him 'We are now dead'. To be honest I almost cried. But really, I was on the edge throughout the whole book.
The greatest story told about WWII. I'm lost for words. The greatest book I read in a long time! It's not often I'm speechless, but I just can't help it. You will understand, when you read this.

Niesamowita historia Władysława Szpilmana, Polskiego kompozytora żydowskiego pochodzenia , który jako jeden z niewielu przeżył getto warszawskie. Pamiętnik niewiele różni się od filmu „Pianista”Romana Polańskiego, który swoje dzieło oparł właśnie na tej książce. Zdecydowanie warte przeczytania!

Vážně jsem byla skoro celou knihu přesvědčená o třech hvězdičkách z pěti. Dávám čtyři, protože je to kniha, která se zaryje do duše a zůstane tížit o po dočtení. A pět nedávám proto, že se mi místy opravdu špatně četla.

It is strange to attempt to rate a personal account of such horrors. All I can say, is that this might be the most accurate depiction of human nature - in its best and worst. It is also a very unique and important testimony of the horrors of the holocaust, so I truly recommend everyone, but especially fellow history students, to read this.
