Let's book. Had me thinking bro. I am absolutely in love with Eli Wiesel and all of his freaking books. I like the way he rides is absolutely captivating and the back and forth in this book. I will say it kind of confuses me here. But overall I fell in love with this book just like I fell in love with every other book. There were so many points and times where I had to literally stop and just be like wow like for someone who struggles with depression of reading this book and like basically understanding that this man is like look: if I die I die. It is what it does. Please don't try to save me and he's in a situation where he basically faced his death and he was hoping he did die and now he's not that he's alive and now people are questioning him. People are walking out eggshells around him and he's basically sitting here telling them exactly why he doesn't want to be alive or exactly who he is. And they're still just staring at him like he's crazy. And it's weird for me, because reading all that I like: Yes I get that.
