" I was expecting some narration on various correlations of what he went through in the camps to life (family, work, personal, etc.). This was only about the camps which there are numerous books that I could have bought on those.
I was very disappointed that I wasted money on this. "

" A very intriguing look at suffering. Always an opportunity to grow. I don't agree what he sees as the ultimate meaning of life; however, I do applaud his optimistic attitude and am humbled by his commitment to his fellow man. We can all learn much from his story. "

" One of the most inspiring and moving books. Frankl is a very positive and strong writer who survived ww2, he talks about the philosophy of meaning an being. The questions he raises are very bold and striking. One of the best holocaust books out there! Highly recommended. "

" This book was so interesting to read. Viktor talks about his experiences in concentration camps in psychological terms. It has changed my view on life. I only give it 4 stars because at times the book was hard for me to read because of his terminology.

" Reread this for the first time since college. The most compelling part, of course, is how Dr. Frankl survived the Nazis. However, the logotherapy section is also interesting. Perhaps it is better suited for a more serious student of psychology, but I appreciated what Frankl was trying to convey.
