CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Enjoy! going in carlissa's CD only bookbox round 4

came back in round 4 of my CD audio bookbox. Will leave in the box for round 5.

I'm pretty sure I read Night in junior high, but I'll be honest. I barely remember anything about it.

This book enjoyed a brief visit in San Jose, CA before continuing its travels in carlissa's CD AudiobookBookbox!

I am taking this from carlissa's CD audiobox! Thanks for sharing!

This book is going into indygo88's CD Audio Bookbox. Safe Travels!

Not sure if anybody liked it so far. Will give it a try and take it out of Big John Lefty's Another Audiobook Box.

I now listened to it. It's ok. There is a young man in the hospital who muses about himself, his grandmother who died in the Holocaust and his relationships with women. He does that by remembering pieces from the past and describing his emotions philosophically. Nothing really happens and even though it has some distinct end - I think it is not something the book works towards.

However, I liked the voice of the reader, some thoughts and side stories are interesting, which makes it ok to listen for me.

This book may travel further in the 2nd round of this wonderful audio book box.

This book arrived in BigJohnLefty's CD only bookbox. I have already listened to this book so it will remain with the box and hopefully find a new home soon. This book started with me and circled around home again. I am sending it on its merry way.

I nabbed this one out of BigJohnLefty's CD-only Audio Bookbox. Thanks to everyone for participating and passing along some great choices!

I read Night a few years ago and enjoyed it (as much as you can, for the subject matter). I wonder if I should pick up the middle book before reading this one?

A very melancholy relationship drama with themes that include saints vs. sinners, the nature of faith and the role of religions. It had potential, but I just could not get into it.

Offered up and claimed during round 20 of iwillrejoice's Audio VBB. Enjoy!

Arrived today. Thank you!

I'm a fan of depressing stories but this one is depressing in a different way.

Eliezer finds himself in the hospital after being hit by a taxi. When he is able to listen and talk he has visits from an old friend. This friend, like Eliezer, is a Holocaust survivor. But the two have very different takes on life.

Eliezer feels he must suffer for those who suffered and died in the camps. He must carry the burden for them. His friend feels one must move on, forget the past. I don't think that I have ever "read" a book where the word "suffer" was repeated so often. Clearly it's the theme.

***Spoiler alert***

Ultimately, Eliezer feels he must lie, he must pretend to live like others while he continues to carry the burden. He must pretend, pretend.

I was torn in a way, in that of course we want to honor those who suffered. But I had to wonder, does thinking about it, making your own life a misery, actually honor them at all? There is no need for Pollyanna here, just some thoughtful determination: what serves the dead best?

Reserved for some future book box.

Sent to another member of the audiobook virtual book box.

Received a while back, but I guess I forgot to journal. Looking forward to listening to this.
