delery 's review for:

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
3.75
dark emotional reflective medium-paced

i feel weird saying i enjoyed the first half of the book, but his insights were devastating and impactful. his own experiences and how he wrote about "the soldier" were very interesting. seeing how much detachment and monotony comes into play for survival, but also optimism and love.  life in the concentration camp and the actions of both the other prisoners and  the nazis was terrible, but as he said not always black and white. he lost me a bit when it moved on to his theory. there was still some good insights, but it felt far more repetitive to me.
