Souls on Fire: Portraits and Legends
of Hasidic Masters,
by Elie Wiesel, starts off with promise enough, but the book lacks the passion
and life blood necessary to deal with the topic. The men Wiesel portrays are the early heroes of
Hasidism, but Wiesel’s presentation and style resembles very flat newspaper reporting. This book just falls flat. With the material
Wiesel had about these extraordinary figures, the results should have been
superior.
