emotional sad medium-paced

5.0

I had to read this book in high school. I remember it being sad but, very educational and a good read. I’m glad I picked it back up for a reread. Elie Wiesel’s story and experience of concentration camps is heartbreaking, eye opening and something everyone should read about to learn about this part of history.

5.0

Probably the most poignant Holocaust memoir, and most of it's from Elie Wiesel's excellent and snappy writing style. Everything about this memoir punches you in the gut, and it doesn't ever drag. I love this book for its writing, and fear it for its subject matter.

Ultimately if I had to pick a book to give the world and make everyone read it, though, it'd be this one.
