The story is rude, brutal. The people were made to die everyday without dying. They were made to work in ice, in bone-chilling air and they worked to keep themselves warm, you no beggars are no choosers.
The book is a controversial novel of all time. Some people have a strong belief that this book was an outcome of the deep frustration of the author, however there is a "sect" that believes that this book shows the real picture of that time Social Russia. There is one incident in the book where all the prisoners marching back to their cells are asked by the troops to open their clothes for the checking purpose and the temperature was far below zero. This all made me shiver. The suffering of the prisoners is immense and I just pray that this book is fiction and not real, because this book depicts the brutal face of mankind.
