I read bits and piece of this many years ago, but it's great to finally read the full text. A harrowing and powerful account of life in a concentration camp and the insights he gathers from the behaviour of those prisoners is just stunning. To see how Frankl used his training from before the war to then develop his theories afterwards is impressive. An important book - I understand why it has received so much praise in the past.
