NIGHT


warning: i suck at writing reviews, but give credit where it counts (it will, unfortunately be short).

SYNOPSIS:
This book follows the adventures of Elie Wiesel and his family before, and during the holocaust,
shedding light on the horrific events in the concentration camps. The torture, starvation and cruelty given to the camp members paired the triumph exonerated in the book create a capturing and unforgettable story.

THOUGHTS:
At first glance, I didn't think too highly of this book and thought it would be dull, lifeless, and boring like most holocaust books are. But I soon learned the error in my ways. I discovered the majestic and effective writing style of Mr. Wiesel. Most holocaust discussions, books and articles have an underlining concept never again. This book literally screams it in a way that makes you want to do something to contribute to verbal and physical peace (may it be stopping an argument or preventing a lost friendship or stopping a rumor).  This book makes you feel that you and your family are Elie's family's situation because you quickly form a bond with the characters.

STARS:
4/4
