The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45 by Władysław Szpilman

5.0

I read the book after watching the movie, because The Pianist is among my top three favorite movies.

Needless to say, the book was equally haunting. Although the movie was impeccable, Szpilman's words in the book touched me more than his character in the movie, which is a big deal.

The book is a cold reminder of Nazi atrocities and everyone should read it once in their life.
