Librarian: This is a book that I really hope we librarians can succeed at getting into the hands of readers. In an age of an ever increasing divide between people, this book serves as a reminder of the fact that as different as we all are, we are also the same. It offers all sorts of life lessons from a man who was one of the finest minds, and hearts of the last century. Unfortunately I feel like this book may not circulate as well as it deserves to. It just feels to niche. We'll have to talk this one up, if we want it to get the circus it deserves.
Reader: I loved this book. The perspective it provided on such a well known figure was so illuminating. It was fascinating to see Wiesel from the perspective of someone who studied under him, and worked with him over the period of several years. The stories he shared were both entertaining and educational. Highly recommend.
