"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."
"This a beautiful and terrible book that I have had to read in small sections because it was overwhelming at times. I love the simplicity and truth of his words. Everybody should read this."
"I knew The Night was about the Holocaust, but didn't know much about the other two books. I thought about how I would have reacted if put in that situation, as a victim. I'm not sure I would have acted differently. He comments a few times on situations where, looking back, they could have avoided trauma. They could have escaped it. But, instead, because of fear or naivety, or trust in human decency, they continued to be herded and killed. I think I would have continued to hope for the best in others as well, which would have led to my demise, unfortunately. There was not an ounce of human decency or morality in those events. The other books describe post-Holocaust emotions, the first as the survivor is required to execute a man, and the second as he tries to love and be loved. One would never be the same after seeing such evil, but I was struck by his inner narrative. So bleak and honest. So empty and hopeless. It's ironic that he spent so much energy avoiding death in the moment, but when removed from the danger, wishes for it. To escape from the emptiness that is left behind. It really made the horror of that time in our history and it's after effects on the generation of survivors, real for me. This is a must-read to keep those memories alive."
