5.0

I gave this book a 5/5 because I found this book to tell a story that was very reflective and interesting. It was also a little bit sad at some points of it. This book is truly an amazing story of bravery, love, and care for the weak by the main character.

This is obviously a very important book. It was interesting and heartbreaking to hear his story. This is to me very textbook like, which is fine, but was hard for me to fully comprehend and connect with it. I do think everyone should read this because we cannot forget.

"And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

It's a first hand account of the Holocaust. It's going to tell it like it was in all its brutality. I say it's important to read no matter what the trigger warnings are.

A gripping narrative of the author’s experience in the Holocaust. Relatively short but packs an emotional punch - Wiesel’s prose is devastatingly beautiful and paints a picture of the absolute devastation the worst of humanity can wreak.

Night by Ellie Wiesel is a truly heartbreaking book. I recommend that readers research the holocaust before reading this book and look at trigger warnings. This book explores many themes, such as hope, death, and trusting god in a crisis. It will make you reflect on life and is 100% worth the read. (I also strongly recommend that you read the author's note; it was one of the best parts of the book)
