Powerfully, effectively terrifying. Page after page of horror, abuse, fear and loss. I expected to weep, but I honestly found myself almost numb by the end of the book. I really wanted to know more about Elie and his personal experience with the liberation, but I'm not ready to read the other books in the trilogy. This is such an important book with such an important insight into the horror of the Holocaust.

I listened to this story on a library playaway. The audio was very tinny. Like I was listening to it on a very old tape player.
The story reveals the horrors of the Holocaust. Prepare yourself to enter into this terrible world.

Elie Wiesel's person account of his time in concentration camps was both horrifying and heartbreaking. I was listening to the book in my car, and often had to sit in the cold for a few minutes to stop before going into work.

There were many similarities to other accounts I have read, but this one was excellent. I also really liked reading the Nobel acceptance speech at the end of the story. It was very inspiring.
Books that make my cry impress me. Books that make me cry twice even moreso. That a book can be so influential and be so short makes it all the better -- quite rewarding for the amount of time invested. A great story about a unique perspective from a dark page in history. I gained quite a new appreciation for the events of the period.
Intense. I kept thinking about the parallels between this true story and the novel The Road. Both describe a world without hope in which the only thing keeping a father/son pair alive is thier love for each other.
