I just finished the book Dennis lent me. I dunno if I should be happy I did. I feel acomplished (having finished the book in 2 and a half days!) but sober. It was true, Dennis' foreshadow about it. I felt like I just finished another of Victor Hugo's works.

I can't tell whether this an acurate account of someone who managed to survive (since the setting of this was during the holocaust) or just an exaggeration...but then again...it could be the account of everyone during that time...

Contrasting to the more real and graphic books I've read, the author gave more depth to the emotional and mental conflicts enveloping the character throughout the whole plot.

There's still that question of whether the book intends to jeopardize the faith of the reader (since there was NO indication that the character actually kept the faith in spite of his anguish until the end) or to simply make him THINK.

I don't know how to make my insights on the book verbatim. But like all good thought provoking books, it ends all of a sudden. No light-hearted parts. It starts and ends with one common theme that is everyone at the brink of their lives. This kind of premise the follows the character will keep you at the edge of your seat as you read.
