Night: Oprah Selection #55

A Book Like No Other!

il y a 4 mois

Remember reading this book a long time ago in high school. Now that I'm older and hopefully wiser, this book is more powerful and haunting than I recall. Within a concise narrative, Elie Wiesel transports us back to the dark days of Europe when evil was paramount and the human spirit was waning. This book serves as an educational marker for later generations of the horrors of war, totalitarianism, hatred and intolerance. The Holocaust must never be forgotten as it showed us that even… + lisez le reste

I read this book in Grade 9 for a book report but it turned in to a 28 page Holocaust report, it made me cry and my heart went out to each and every one that went thru this and made it out a live and to all those that didn't make it out I still remember how I felt the first time I read it and look forward reading it again and again .

This book is incredible. I first read it in university and since then I have re-read it over ten times. Everytime I read it I get something new. This is a must read for anyone interested in first had experiences during the Holocaust.

Fantastic but sad

Night is a memoir of Wiesel's time spent in concentration camps and work camps during WW2. This was an excellent book and his writing is outstanding, but I would not recommend it to the faint of heart. He describes the very real, but very disgusting acts that were taken out on Jews and other prisoners held in the camps in detail. There are many books about the holocaust and the horrible effects of the Nurembourg Laws on Jews in Germany. What I found remarkable about Wiesel's book was the… + lisez le reste

Classic

Critique de : Night (Format poche)

This book is a classic. I had to read it for my high school English class nearly a decade ago and to this day I can vividly remember the discussions our class had with regards to Elie's experience during- and post-Holocaust period. Mr. Wiesel's writing is so moving that it made the event real in my mind and the time gap between WWII and now irrelevant. I highly recommend Night to anyone with or without an interest in the Holocaust. + lisez le reste

Night by Elie Wisel was an amazing story. i havent finished it yet but i can guarantee that i'm going to cry. i've read exactly 21 pages and i'm completly apalled by what happened. I had no idea that the holocauste was so brutal and devistating.

Life altering

il y a 11 mois

I read this book when I was at University. Being a student of Political Science, the Holocaust was an intensely studied subject. A professor of mine suggested I read this book and for the first time in my life, it took me two weeks to read a book. In case you need to understand...I read the entire Stephanie mayer's twilight series in two weeks...almost three thousand pages. The little tiny "The Night" novel took me two weeks to read because it was so heartwrenching, heartbreaking, difficult… + lisez le reste

Unimaginable

Until I read this book I thought my Grandfathers stories were embellished. He lived in a Labor Camp for last 14 months of WWII, and I truly believed his stories to not have been true. I was almost tempted to ask my Grandmother what number he was given in the camp truly believing Elie Wiesel and him were at the same Camp. The book was captivating and truly pulls at your heart strings.

A Daughters Read

I have not read this book, but what a surprise when I seen it on Oprahs list. My 12 year old daughter read it , she enjoyed it and requested the Night Trilogys which contain 3 more stories from Elie. Just goes to show that if an adult reads your children will to and good quality books at that .

Throughout my 14 years of life, i have always strived to learn more about what had happened during the world wars and the genocide created by Hitler. I have watched historical films, read fiction and non-fiction books on the holocaust, and searched the internet for every bit of information i could get my hands on. However, last night my cousin lent me this book Night after dinner, i started reading it and didnt stop until it was 1:30 where i could no longer read anymore for I had school… + lisez le reste
