A review by romysh
The Pianist by Władysław Szpilman

5.0

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.
