Fatelessness Review Analysis!

Before we read a book, it's a good idea to read some reviews about it. This way, we can know more about how good it is and how the author develops the topic. In class, we had the chance to read and comment a review about "Fatelessness", and in this post I'll answer some short questions about it. 

1. Which perspective (positive or negative) does the author of the review have towards FATELESSNESS? Provide evidence.
He takes a positive position, because he seems to like the book. The author approves the way the protagonist deals with suffering and pain through the story. We can know these because the author states that "In Fatelessness the writer elevates this form to another level". The quote show that the author has a high quality writing level and that Fatelessness is an outstanding book.

2. According to the review, in which ways does FATELESSNESS make readers empathize with the main character of the story?
The review states that the reader empathizes with the protagonist of the story because the reader will constantly ask what would have he done if he was in a concentration camp. "Would we have reacted this way?"and "how might I have coped" are just some examples of this.

3. In the second paragraph of this review, we are presented the plot of the story. Is this enough information to engage you as a reader? Does it provide an effective invitation to read "FATELESSNESS"? Justify
I think it is enough information for the reader to be engaged by the book. The holocaust has been and will always be a very interesting topic, therefore it's very important to use it as a bait to make people check out the book. I think the writer of the review took a wise move because he didn't go deep in the character's life but he centered his thought in the concentration camp to catch people's attention.
