I found the same lack of drama (or in my experience, emotion) when I read Night by Elie Weisel. At first I was a bit shocked by this, but then I realized that emotions and the drama that goes along with them are a bit of a luxury to someone who is just trying to survive from day to day. Also, as you said, "the story itself provides the necessary tension and heartache."

ZOMG I'm such a proof reading loser....LOL

The date should read 2009 and I have fixed this.

Thank you SO much Anonymous Child for making my allegedly well written review better.

I’m just wondering… It says release date 2007 and also that it’s an advanced reader’s copy… Did it take a while to get to, or is the release date off?

As for the book itself, it actually sounds really interesting. I prefer non-dramatic reads and though I’ve read many Holocaust stories, I think it’s very important to read and write these stories. Also, the prospect of a formal read sounds pretty good. Thanks for this well-written review.
