What can I say about this book. It is sad. Devastating. Heartbreaking. Serious.
Night is the account of Elie Wiesel during his captivity in concentration camps during World War 2. I read it quickly because I felt like if I lingered over the words too long, my heart might break in two and I might lose any hope I had remaining in humanity. I do not exaggerate. Yet his story needed to be told. His writing voice was relatively detached and void of excessive emotion even in the midst of unimaginable circumstance. I’m not sure if this was deliberate or because of the difficulty in translating the work into English.
The book is short – just over 100 pages. And while I can’t say I enjoyed it, I felt like I honored Mr. Wiesel for hearing his story. And it is certainly a story that deserves honoring.
The verdict: Read it if you don’t mind crying at least half a dozen times.

I love this book! He’s tells such a heartbreaking story so well. Remember when I told you I picked up a bunch of books, some of which you might be interested in borrowing? One of them is a fiction novel by Elie. I know you’re not typically into fiction, but I thought you may make an exception for this one. (I haven’t read it yet-shocking, I know.)
This is one of my favorite books of all time. Did you know this book was part of a trilogy? Night, Dawn, and Day. Night is my favorite though.
Kim – I didn’t realize that was such a favorite of yours. And I had noticed he had the other two books, but didn’t know they went together. Very cool!
