I loved every moment. So much so that I’m going to listen again after I finish this review. It’s funny in places it shouldn’t be which is very helpful with the subject matter. For the record you MUST read “This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen” regardless if you read this book or not.

I had no idea what I was getting into. I knew that I loved Bronson’s narrations so I went with it. Once I got over the puppies incident I was hooked. I liked that I couldn’t tell if it was pro or con religion.

I believe the point of the book was to express the sometimes “mundane” as one reviewer suggests. As the author is a Holocaust survivor I don’t believe it was mundane to him rather he’s trying to express the less horrifying yet just as important; his every day emotions. No one can imagine a concentration camp, only the people who experienced it can share their imprisonment. I enjoyed the narrator very much.

Pamela Adlon is a fantastic narrator. My view wafted back and forth as information came to light. I couldn’t form a concrete answer for myself. Would love more of these types of stories. (Documented inquiries that is)


Some technical difficulties in the last chapter.

After finishing this book, I wanted to go back in time to meet the young Sledgehammer. I also wanted to adopt Joe Mazzello who brought me to tears several times as the voice of E.B. Sledge. The HBO mini-series The Pacific was based upon this and other memoirs of marines serving in World War 2. I am so glad I was able to hear the full story of E.B, Sledge in his own words. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

I listened to this book after watching The Pacific HBO mini-series. James Badge Dale did such a fantastic narration that I felt I was watching another performance of The Pacific. Helmet for My Pillow was one of the books used in the making of the mini-series. I'm so glad I could get the actual story of Robert Leckie, in addition to the "based upon" version. I highly recommend this experience.
