I read Anne Frank back in school in 2002 or 2003. Since then, I've read Weisel, Levi, and Spiegelman. I've even read Frankl, Sebald and Styron. If I had gotten to Szpilman's The Pianist earlier, I can see myself giving it 5 stars. It's a very good book. But I've read very good books before. And I seem to have reached a threshold.
