Night by Elie Wiesel (2006, Hardcover, Translation)

I am your typical average American male. I read only the books I had to in school, and read none at home, outside of the sports page. With my sister sick, and spending a lot of time in waiting rooms, I set out to get a book. I grabbed this book and couldn't put it down after paying for it. I have since started Wiesels book "Dawn", and will get "Day" after that. This book will let you know what a young kid was truly feeling in the concentration camps. Who ever wrote the previous review, obviously didn't read the same book. He also needs to take his own advice, because he seems to have his own amount of hate built up inside. This is one of those books that after you read it, you want others to read it as well. I hope this helps, and God Bless you all.

After watching Mr. Wiesel on OPRAH... I thought this book would be a necessary read for anyone who is human... the need to understand why so many white men seem to have such a need for controll over others... such rage in their hearts... and the suffering so many millions has gone through... but somehow I felt cheated... maybe I expected a much thicker book... and let us never forget that the Jewish community was not the only ones who died in the camps... their were others... I find a twisted interest in Hitler... why did he need to concur to rise to power...? Why do white men have this breed in them... I am caucassion but never understood it... and why do so many hateful people hid behind religion... religious people used to be good people... now they use Christ as both sword and shield... hate, sepertism, prejudice, anger... they have no moral or lawful right to deny gays rights, they are not god and if they think there is no difference between their sepertism and Hitler's - you are out of your minds.... hate is hate... I think Jesus would spit in the faces of those full of such anger and intimidation the white supieror race who hids their true KKK roots behind him.

Elie Wiesel provides a vivid account of the Holocaust in which the reader feels part of his pain through every step of the way.

There are not that many books out there that could touch me the way this book did. Not only is Mr. Wiesel telling you his story, he draws you in in a way that you feel like you are right there beside him. This is a must read book.

I didn't want to borrow Night from the library because I want my own to do annotations in. Besides the sticky residue on the cover, the book is in perfect condition. I finished Night in about 4 hours, so that's in one sitting. It's better if you read it in one sitting to get the actual "feel." The story is beautiful detail and the ending is sure to bring tears to your eyes.
