Book Review of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
reviewed on


This book is a great ready about the daily struggle of a man named Ivan who is trying to survive in a concentration camp. The book describes Ivan's encounters with the guards and the "games" that the guards use against the prisoners to cause problems amongst themselves. There is no friends for Ivan in this life that he now lives, no one is to be trusted. Even though each new day is like the day before, Ivan remains hopeful that somehow this new day will be just a little better than the last.
