OMG this is monster book. Probably too long, but the detail is amazing. How did Littell ever accomplish so much detailed research? Herr Aue is quite a character - completely amoral and at the same time cultured and dedicated to his task. I really don't like the long paragraphs or long sentences. I would recommend this but not to my Jewish friends as it might to too hard to take the hideous acts of violence. It is beyond me how anyone would be talented enough to write such a book.
