No number, no single word review. For some reason I don't trust your reading comprehension enough to have faith in your assessment of the novel.

>>18629380
I hated The Rings of Saturn so why the fuck would I read this probably overrated trash as well?

Solid 8

woah. crazy how people get filtered by something being “too simple”.
That must be an awful experience when one realizes one is so shallow that it is not simple pretentiousness that can filter one, but instead innate aesthetic humanity lacks in you to appreciate the beautiful simple.

oof

how much of a fucking pleb and tasteless asshole can one be

>>18632180
Was loving this book until I found out it was just another "muh 6 gorillion" book.
The worst part is that the writer isn't even a Jew. He was a German who had white guilt, which might even be worse.

>>18630564
What did he mean by this?

>>18633274
based anon. Rings of Saturn isn't all Holohoax drama, is it? Cause that one sounds interesting and is at the top of my list.

>>18629380
8. Good.

>>18634097
His whole bibliography is basically just thinly veiled Holocaust guilt. The Emigrants is the most overt of this, since it's literally about Holocaust survivors/victims.
Rings is the least offender of this, but still it's there bubbling under the surface at all times.

Defend it in one paragraph.

No, Jews put their jew shit in everything, and I will never stop pointing it out. Cry more Levi.

>Rings is the least offender of this, but still it's there bubbling under the surface at all times.

There's a literal two page spread photograph of a pile of dead people in some camp inserted in the middle of one of the chapters IIRC.

>>18634812
IIRC it also comes completely out of left field, probably intentionally.

This is seriously the state of /lit/ now. Dismissing a book off hand because it deals with a major historical event. You can imagine these cunts sitting around teahouses bemoaning another book about the French Revolution (never happened). No, wait, you can't, because the state of things has never before been so thoroughly dreadful.

>>18635475
Writing about the holocaust nowadays is as revolutionary and interesting as writing about "X"-geist in late 19th/early 20th century Germany : it's just so boring and played out, no wonder people can't muster more than a tired moan at the sound of yet another author not being able to write about anything else.

Maybe you just haven't been exposed to it as much, and so you don't notice these sorts of things?

>>18635504
>exposed to it
As in, sought it out.
How, pray, have you been "exposed" to this book, except by entering this thread to moan about it? Without even deigning to give a number and a word, I might add.
You, my boy, are one of life's losers.
