A fascinating, if grim, read. As Holocaust deniers/negationists seem to be gaining new momentum I felt it was important I finally tackled this book. Strongly recommended.
I read this years ago, but misplaced it along the way. TBH itās a long, if interesting, haul, but watching the non-musical TV adaptation has rekindled my interest so this is on its way:

Refreshing my memory so I can do it full justice as next weeks class read.

Takes a bit of effort to do it well though, Gollum isnāt easy to read aloud and do his dual personalities convincingly

No chance. If I was good enough Iād be doing it for a living. I would happily pay to see a live reading from The Hobbit if it was done well.
