Anyone else not like The Tattooist of Auschwitz?

I listened to it on Audible which has some sound/editing issues which didn’t help and the protagonist was dramatised very meekly which I found annoying. I just didn’t connect with the love story at the heart of it and found it underwhelming and weirdly unmoving. Anyone else?

Yes! I didn’t believe it either, he was too selfless and it felt like a PR version of a love story that could have been gritty, real and haunting.

I didn't care for it. There was minimal narrative tension and IMO it was poorly written too...

I had to stop after the first few pages. It just didn't engage me, and this is a period of history that I am fixated by.

Me. Terribly written and didn't believe all the story
