A review by jonmayb
Night, by Elie Wiesel

3.0

Night is the abridged version of Wiesel's exponentially-longer manuscript. Throughout the work, I found myself considering that perhaps it had been too abridged. There were many times at which seemingly majorly events were nearly brushed by, while at other times, events that appeared to be of a lesser importance seemed to get rather thorough descriptions. Additionally, while it may be due to the fact that it is a work in translation, I found the general sentence structure and language usage to be overly simple. Nonetheless, this was still a very thought-provoking work that I found to have provided insight to the atrocities faced by Jewish people during WWII.
