Overly romanticized. In the beginning of the book I was intrigued but as the story went I felt as if i was reading something unfinished. Everything going in the story was down played for the sake of a love story. It just felt very unfinished and rushed towards the end to the happy endingDefinitely better holocaust books out there.

Powerful. This is such a wonderful read. It’s written beautifully and flows smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Incredibly beautiful account of undying hope. Accounts of the Holocaust are always desperately difficult to read but this story shared the will to survive through a beautiful love story of two desperate survivors sharing their accounts of surviving the death camp of Auschwitz. We must never forget….

Touching Story. We all have heard of the horrors those experienced during WW2 and the concentration camps. This tells about Lale Sokolov’s story of finding love and surviving the horrors at Auschwitz. Very good book.

Absolutely wonderful. Its a wonderful story that I was not able to put it down. I am happy I found it. Excellent author. ❤️

An Extraordinary Story in Extraordinary Times. I poured over this novel in the course of several days. Having read many books on the subject of The Holocaust and concentration camps, I found the tale of Lale and Gita to be a compelling love story. At times, the events seem to be hard to fathom especially Lale’s bartering for gems, food, and the many fortunate situations that preserved his life. A cat with nine lives, indeed. The screenplay and subsequent book by Heather Morris was a somewhat fictionalized account of an extraordinarily dark time in history. She brought light, love, and humanity to it. Worth the read.

Underdeveloped characters and ending. I enjoyed the story and perspective of this book. However, there wasn’t a whole lot of character connection or development throughout the story. The ending was also sped up and ended too quickly.

Chilling. So good! I felt like I was there with Lale and Gita as they were suffering, surviving, and falling in love.

Read it. I recently have been sucked down the rabbit hole of reading Holocaust novels and this one is definitely worth the read! If you enjoy this read I would highly recommend checking out the author Mandy Robotham.

New favorite book!. This is an incredible story and beautifully written. An amazing depiction of struggle and perseverance.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Really? Did she even try? This was awful.

Heartbreaking.. This book was well written, but the subject matter is hard to get through. The systematic erasing of a culture is unfathomable to me.

Amazing book!. I love this book! I couldn’t put it down. It’s a great read!

Ah-MAZING!. Such a beautiful story! Just wondering why this isn’t a movie yet!? I’m so in love with each person and their part in the story.. beautifully done!

Must read. Read it through in one sitting. Fascinating and gripping

Riveting. Real account of the horrors visited upon a race human beings. Also the power of willpower and love persevering. Timely in American politics of late.

Amazing. So amazing.. Where to start with this book...? It is an amazing story. The characters are real and this was their life. It tells of their perseverance and love. It also lets us in on the horrific things the people went through in the camps (if they even survived). This is one book I can say I do plan on reading again, and I never say that about novels. It’s heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. Hard to read at times because it can be sad but, it’s also impossible to put down.

Poorly Written/Factually Flawed. I can tolerate bad writing, but minimizing the experience at Auschwitz and making it seem like it wasn’t that bad in excusable. There’s so much glossing over the actual horrors that took place there in an effort to write a Holocaust romance novel. It’s actually quite offensive.

Great. I loved the book. It was captivating. I wish the end had been drawn out a bit more, though.

The tattoo artist of. Well written, and lots to think about.

Astounding. Amazing book that places you in the middle of a forbidden relationship. heartbreaking, but an amazing, cant-put-down read.

Great book!!! Must read!!!. Very great book I love that you can feel the love pain and sorrow between the characters as you read I was very impressed

Grupping. Read the entire thing through one sitting. Literally could not put down!

A beautiful reading. I could not put the book down and it had such a great ending

Nice book. Great story about the holocaust

Must read. This is one of my favorite books. Amazing read!!!

Must Read. I couldn’t put this book down. Highly recommend!

A love story in the darkest of times!. Such a genuine and riveting account of Holocaust survivors. I am thrilled that he was finally able to tell their story.

A book you want to read the second time. This was such an amazing book and I quickly read through it. It’s a true one story and one about surviving the camps and what Lale did to remain alive. I would recommend this book to anybody and everybody!

Great easy read. There are some sad bits to this book as with any book about the holocaust but it is a great read with many light hearted parts. I really enjoyed this novel.

Riveting from page one. Loved every bit of this tragically beautiful story of strength in the face of evil

A must read. An absolutely amazing story

Excellent. Excellent!

Tatoist of auschwitz. As i sit in quarantine & read Lale & Gita”s story, i have experienced sorrow, inspiration, & joy. The horror & loss of so many innocent lives during the holocaust is something the world should never forget. Thank you for telling their story- i will remember. The inspiration that they survived such horror & were able to love & build a life... may it give others who are struggling hope for tomorrow. May we each be a vessel to help those around us in need in any small or great measure we can within our ability at the moment. Lale”s heart to help others is an example to follow. Blessings to you 💓 Debra

Horrifying, spellbinding.. I’ve read other accounts of the concentration camps, but this was the most compelling. A love story for the ages, interwoven in a time of the worst evil mankind can inflict on other human beings.

Sad, but loved it. It is a tough read in places, but hard to put down. A man taken to Aushwitz death camp schemes his way to a ‘secure’ position tattooing numbers on new arrivals. He uses his elevated position to help others around him. In the terribleness of what is happening in the camp he falls in love. Very well written.

Compelling. The feelings and thoughts expressed by the character, Lale, in the face of unbelievable choices and horrendous circumstances grabbed me right at the beginning. There are many Holocaust stories and books. This one is a top of my list, must read for the realism of one person’s journey through that horror.

Poorly Written and Unfinished. The true story of this couple deserved so much more than it got with this novel. It somehow took a true story of love and survival in one of the darkest times in recent history and turned it into a teen romances novel. I was left with sadness when I finished the book, not from the book itself, but for the story that could have been told. I am truly bewildered that this has good reviews.

AMAZING. I absolutely love this book!! It has such a story you just automatically get sucked in. I recommend this to everyone interested in the subject!

Tried to enjoy it. Sorry, it just reads like spark notes or something. Every chance for something interesting cuts short to a sentence of “then x was happening for y days”.

Amazing!. I love this story so much. I listened to it on audio and the narrator did a wonderful job. The story was so wonderful. Highly recommend

Great Read. This book revealed a lot about the holocaust that I wasn’t aware of. Lale and Gita’s story is beautiful and their journey is something special.

Outstanding book. So terribly sad what happened in Auschwitz to innocent people

A must read book.. Captivating journey of two very strong people in an improbable situation but yet their love managed to carry them through. Very well written, you cant stop reading.

Excellent. Absolutely amazing story. Well written, captivating from start to finish. The Afterword is the perfect follow up to this moving and hope inspiring story.

Beautiful story. The story is amazing but the writing and execution of the ending were my favorite parts

Great Read. I could NOT put this book down!

AMAZING!!!!. This book was incredible! I have been addicted to it for the past few weeks. It takes me to a completely different and horrifying world, I felt like I was in Lale’s shoes and I was really there experiencing what he did, it was scary. This book is told incredibly well and it is a book a will put on my favorites list and recommend to others. I like reading books about the holocaust, it helps me to reflect on humanity. I plan to read the authors other works very soon! If you are looking for a good book and a new favorite author look no further than here!

Tattooists. Great book, had my attention the entire book. I couldn’t put it down!!

Couldn’t put it down. Loved this book. Would recommend to anyone. It had my attention from the first chapter and I fell in love with Lale and Gita.

Disgraceful. I thought this book was beyond disrespectful to the atrocities experienced by those during the Holocaust.

Compelling tragic and incredible. I wasn’t sure what to expect, only that everyone raves about this book. I found myself unable to put it down. From start to finish heather really captures the heart and soul of that period in history covered in so much despair and heartache.

Tattooist of Auschwitz. I found this book to be an average read only. Everything about the plight of prisoners in Germany’s concentration camps is horrifying. We knew that. But this writer recounts his time dispassionately. Almost clinically. It’s not that I am without sympathy. But it just wasn’t a compelling suspenseful read.

Everyone needs to read this. Amazing!!

The Tattooist of Auschwitz. A great read. A touching story which proves the desire to live and love can overcome all obstacles.

A true love story. I could not put this book down! After three days of reading start to finish I learned that love can over come some of life’s most difficult obstacles. I also learned a little more about what life was like during that time which made me cry for the pain they suffered. But made me feel joy as well when they were happy! I highly recommend this book to anyone.
