Antonio Iturbe - Librarian of Auschwitz

This book is just based on true story but is mostly fictional. On the same genre as last one this
continues the theme of holocaust / survivor story. This one tells story from the children's barrack in Auschwitz-Birkenau  concentration camp and how one man managed world's smallest library of just eight books.

Well don't count me on the description. Go ahead and google for better review. The voice of the narrator is very good and her pronounciation is clear. Narrator reads the text as it is a play so that might distract some. She has awful imitation of russian jews.

Score: 4/5
Length:13h 39min
Speed: 1.5x

Afterwords

This book was good.... just not as good as the document like previos one so reading them in this order was not a good idea.

Ken Follett - Jackdaws


This time I write this in english to attract and appeal to english readers. This book by Ken Follett is about second world war and french resistance. Perhaps especially women working under british SOE in france. Very detailed book like all books by Follett.


Internet says writer is famous for the ww2 books - but unfortunately I haven't read any. Will definitely do so in future.

Reader is woman, very nice voice and as common in english books she is acting the characters. Clear voice allows for relatively high speed even with book like this. Very very good listening experience.

Prescore: 4/5
Length: 13h 31min
