A review by jo961blue
Day by Elie Wiesel

4.0

Some books are just too hard to handle. This is an incredible read. There is more emotion and literature and philosophy and religion and understanding in this short novel than in 100 others. I had never really thought about what it would be like to live after being liberated from Auschwitz I guess because the people I have met have used their lives to inform others of the horror. So they have been able to find meaning. But this is not ostensibly what this book is about. It is about recovery from a car accident. But is it? How can you fight so hard to stay alive against all the odds. And then want to die? An amazing book.
