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)

dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

Extremely hard to read and one of the most harrowing, disturbing, and tragic books I’ve ever come across. I think it’s also one of the most important books ever written, the perspective shows that whatever you thought was troubling can get darker.

5.0

AN AMAZING SECOND READ OF THE YEAR, READ FOR ENGLISH 10. Usually I don’t really “latch” onto the books I read for school. NIGHT was the opposite. I was instantly hooked. I’m not sure why. The book was a poignant read, and a needed one for our time. This is one book that I think everyone should make the effort to read at least once. It’s difficult to get through, of course, due to the subject matter, but powerful and impactful. 

For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.

5.0

Went into this book the same way I go into most that are part of the canon: a bit fearful and prepared to be disappointed. Not by the story, but by the writing. Was not disappointed at all. Such a quick-paced, moving retelling of a time in the authors life. Will be coming to this one forever and ever.
