dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

Extremely hard to read and one of the most harrowing, disturbing, and tragic books I’ve ever come across. I think it’s also one of the most important books ever written, the perspective shows that whatever you thought was troubling can get darker.

adventurous dark emotional informative reflective sad tense fast-paced

I read this for class and will never regret it. Wiesel is a masterful writer. It feels like you’re reading a novel as he relays his real experiences in such a real way. The violence is not grotesque at all, simply stated in a matter-of-fact way. The way this book emphasizes the emotional and psychological developments of the Holocaust victims really punches in the impact of what happened. I wept when they arrived at Auschwitz and walked with Wiesel through his words. I don’t care what your personal reading preferences or sensitive topics are; read this book. We are here. We will never stay silent.
