Book Review of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


The entire book takes place, as the title suggests, in one day. At first I found it dreadfully boring (although reading it for class doen't enthuse me too often) but once you get into it, it's hard to put down. The truth of the subject matter - shocking, especially since it's a work of (mostly) fiction.
