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.

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.
