Book #50

Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally

429 pages

 

 

This accidentally was my last book. After the atrocious book I read last, I decided I need a classic to finish out the year and my goal. I grabbed this at the library and only realized after I began reading it how depressing it was to end the year with this.

This is the story of Schindler, a well-off business owner who had a hand in saving a group of Jewish people in the Holocaust. How it all played out was very interesting, especially since I didn't know much about his story at all (I know, I know -- I've never seen the movie!).
 

I had trouble following some of this, because there isn't much dialogue and I kept getting confused on all the people in the story. I definitely think a re-read will be in my future with this one eventually.

 

Speaking of ... ready to start my new challenge for 2015!! I'm still finalizing my details.
