"These books are hard to read, as it is a true first-person portrayal of the horrors of concentration camps (Night) and then the permanent mental and emotional after-effects (Dawn and The Accident) in the survivor. Even though it is not happy reading, it is necessary that we all get a graphic and honest portrayal of the atrocities to ensure that it will never happen again. In my opinion, probably the worst effect for each young man/hero in each story (we could even argue that the three survivors are the same man?) is the loss of faith. Growing up as a studious, faithful, and devoted Jewish scholar, he completely loses his faith in God and becomes angry at Him. His constant question of "why" has no answer and he cannot accept that.
Dawn is a sort of revenge- previously the victim, he now is placed in the role of executioner.
The Accident struggles even more with the post-trauma in a mental capacity- along with the loss of grace, he deals with suicidal tendencies and we see how his inner struggles affect those who love him in the present.
I do recommend reading them all together, as they are so closely related."
"Okay... so for the trilogy, I'd say this is a 4. The different books independently, I'd give Night a solid 5, Dawn a 4 and Day a 3... maybe even less...
Night is so incredibly well written... absolutely heartbreaking... I couldn't set it down. How is it that I never read this book before?
Dawn didn't have me sucked in quite as quickly but as I got farther into it, I became more and more engrossed. At the end of the book, I found myself on the L with my jaw dropped asking myself, "did that just happen?"
Day... I did not really like this book... it is an interesting concept and Wiesel has an interesting philosophy/theory but I just couldn't get into it..."
"I gave it a 4 just for night. I didn't like dawn or accident (or Day). They were to deppressing. Night was incredible. It is his true story of survival of the holocaust. That is a great read."
""The Night Trilogy" is a three separate novel of Elie Wiesel's narrative on his experience at the concentration camp and struggle within himself and his faith. Although, the first novel "Night" was a factual testimony of Wiesel's experience at the hands of the Nazis, the other two stories were fictional, an outcome of his experience told in "Night". Of all three stories, my favorite would be "Dawn" because there are many essential aspects discussed in this short novel such as what's really at stake in war, why do people go into terrorist acts and to see war in a man's perspective (like what was going through the mind of a man who's about to kill a hostage). All three novels were equally compelling, but I found the "Night" was poorly translated in this edition. Some words and phrases were repeated. It was different from the other two novels, or maybe because the other two novels were fictional.
"Night" is not just an account of Wiesel's experiences but also his struggle to believe that there's God amidst the cruelty he experienced. The book would either compel you to believe in the existence of God or would lead you to think there's no God. After reading this, it justified my belief that there is none."
