I tried to get into this book but found the writing style one I just couldn't get interested in. The third party narrative from the perspective of Death, to me wasn't very interesting and seemed to stop the momentum of the book plus the use of Jewish/German words and phrases made it necessary (for me) to have my iphone ready to search for a translation. The premise of the book could have been a great book, unfortunately for me this author fails.
