Book Review By Megan
All Rivers Run to the Sea by Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel, the author of Night, Dawn, and various other books dealing with the holocaust and Jews, brings to us his personal collection of memoirs. Part 1 in a two-volume series, this book goes in depth with Wiesel - his childhood, concentration camp life, his wanting to kill himself, right up to the day he gets married. Wiesel really lets us get inside his head. We find out about his childhood friends, his relationship with relatives, and his crushes on various women. It's a very eye-opening book for those who want to read more on this extraordinary man.
