Reaction to A Single Numberless Death

The main thing that this book reminded me of was the various Holocaust literature I read for a class last year. Apart from similar subject matter -- torture, arrest scenes, memories of before the war -- the tone is the same. It's very straightforward and holds nothing back -- I get the feeling that the author kind of wanted to shock the reader with her complete openness and the way she intertwines the horrifying scenes from the dirty war with memories of the past.

Content-wise, there's not a ton in this book simply because it's a lot of the same sort of story being told over and over. That is not to say that it is an empty book, because it is quite interesting, just that I don't have a lot to say about it because there isn't a ton of information in the text. That being said, although the book is very depressing I do enjoy it.
