Title: Required Reading!
Review: My nephew coerced me into reading this book. When he told me it was required reading for his Junior High English class, I thought it would be beneath my reading level or that it would skirt gently around details of the concentration camps in order to cater to adolescents. I was wrong. It was beautifully written, despite the ugly story being told. The new translation in the forward, along with the Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech just added to the raw emotion of the subject in addition to exploring the author's personal feelings about his survival. I am now looking forward to reading Wiesel's other two books in the "trilogy," if you will. I am a Wiesel fan for life!
