I am 36 years of age and have genuinely never cried because of a book before. At length a pretty fast read but prepare to take breaks between chapters. It was distressing yet powerfully and effectively written. RIP Elie Wiesel, I will share and recommend this book and your legacy as long as I live.

Written by a Nobel Peace Price winner, it's his story as a teenager living through a Nazi Concentration Camp. His only goal in writing the book was to ensure that in the future when others tried to deny that it happened, his book would provide an enduring story of truth.

Life changing. It's one of those books everyone needs to read. In order to not repeat just history, we must take a long necessary look at it.

I am your typical average American male. I read only the books I had to in school, and read none at home, outside of the sports page. With my sister sick, and spending a lot of time in waiting rooms, I set out to get a book. I grabbed this book and couldn't put it down after paying for it. I have since started Wiesels book "Dawn", and will get "Day" after that. This book will let you know what a young kid was truly feeling in the concentration camps. Who ever wrote the previous review, obviously didn't read the same book. He also needs to take his own advice, because he seems to have his own amount of hate built up inside. This is one of those books that after you read it, you want others to read it as well. I hope this helps, and God Bless you all.
Book was brief,sad,not explicit. Sort of a brief synopsis. Although heartbreaking ,would have liked more content. A tragic event in history.
