'Those who furiously describe The Kindly Ones as 'Holocaust porn' are mistaken, just as those who praise the book as the greatest since War and Peace are so wrong - it is merely a momentary distraction, a conceit, just like all the ephemera of culture set against the backdrop of the family of Man heading for exile from each other...'

Anyone have any opinions on this? I mean the subject matter of the reviewed book,
not necessarily the review itself.

Thanks :-)

Steve - just read your review. I haven't read the book, and hadn't heard of it before today. I think on the strength of your review I'll bypass it for something more substantial. I liked the review though, pal.

Good job too, Frank - the book weighs a ton - 948 pages!

Thanks for reading the review, mate. :-)
