The first half of this book is harrowing to read. This is the kind of book that has a lasting impact on your life, your way of thinking, how you look at the world. It shows how horrible life can be, but also highlights how wonderful and worthwhile it is. It is a must read for anyone struggling with finding meaning in life or questioning the point of life. The second half of the book is beautiful. Victor Fromm has touched so many lives.

I am happy I put off reading this book until after graduating college. It is an interesting meditation on attaining meaning in one's life and finding meaning through suffering. Frankl's narrative in three parts detailing the initial shock of entrance, the long years within the camps, and the shock of freedom created a stark look on the psyche of men in the most dire of conditions. I think I will re-read this later on this year.
