RATING: 3 STARS Last year, I found myself getting a bit burnt out on WWI and WWII historical fiction novels. I found that many were following a formula of based on true stories of women, lighter romance and/or secret spies. A few I read were amazing, but on the whole I have been meh. Some I haven't been able to get through, some I think I might like once I take a break and have put to the side, and some have been like The Tattooist of Auschwitz. It is engaging, and because it is a true story it is plausible, and an "easy read" (not on subject matter, but rather how it is written). I continued to read this novel, rather than putting it aside, because this was the best it was going to be for me, I am afraid. Maybe I went into this with too high of expectations - as most people loved this book. I did find the tattooing of prisoners interesting, as I have not heard too much about that in my studies. I will be reading Cilka's Journey as the synopsis sounds really intriguing.
