"""I've never encountered a more convincing description of physical and moral Hell in any of the literature I've read so far. This is not just a book. It's a necessary historical document for every Romanian, and a piece of writing that can easily hold its own among names like Evghenia Ghinzburg or Primo Levi"" --Doru Castaian, professior, translator, editor ""A real life 'tales from the Crypt' written from the sinister 'hospital of the neverhealing', with Chuck Palahniuk's pen, dipped in Edgar Allan Poe's ink."" --Marius Chivu, ""Dilema Veche"" Magazine (Romania) ""This memoir will hit you like a ton of bricks. It's painful, graphic, and so real. The abuse, the filth, and the lies seen through Alexandra's eyes brought back that deep feeling of hatred for the corrupt political administration, and for those who choose a profession not out of empathy but out of the pursuit of money and social status."" --Diana Livesay, investigative journalist ""Whenever a writer succeeds in bringing the right words together, they perform a corrective endeavor upon the world, they right the world's ugliness. This is what Diary of 66 manages to do."" --Gabriel Liiceanu, Romanian author The Romanian edition of Diary of 66 (Jurnalul lui 66) won the prize for best memoir and the author was named as the most important social activist."
