Fatelessness Review

For this post, I'll answer some questions about a review about the autobiographical novel made by a Hungarian, Jewish author, called Imre Kertész.
Below, you can find the review link, which I'll answer some questions of.

                              Fatelessness by Imre Kertesz

1. Which perspective (positive or negative) does the author of the review have towards FATELESSNESS? Provide evidence.

It's a mix between an interesting book and a harrowing read. However, as I understand it, it has got a great reality that can be read through the lines of the novel. "Fatelessness is a harrowing read, though it never sets out to shock": there he says explicitly that it's a dreadful book, but in the other hand, he starts saying that "the writer elevates this form to another level", making me understand that, maybe in some parts it's a monotone narration, but in between lines it's a great book.

2. According to the review, in which ways does FATELESSNESS make readers empathize with the main character of the story?

The best of this book is probably its similarities with life. As it says, "Life takes you where it goes, irrespective [of all] (...), One makes of life what it presents (...). It's the detail along the way that makes the journey.". And that's just what the book makes you feel. It's life, nothing else. 

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 may give more than what is expected. It tells the end of the novel, and that's a terrible mistake when you are telling the plot of a book. However, as it's an autobiographical text, you may have already know that Imre Kertész got out of the labour camps, and this doesn't make it less interesting. It's similar to what happens with the Socrates' Apology book. Everyone that reads it already knows that he will eventually die, but even that, they read it and get surprised by the narration of the facts. That's why, I think it doesn't matter it tells too much, it will still be a great novel.
