Review Detail

'Night' is the painful and terrifying record of young Elie Wiesel's memories of when he and his family were taken from their home and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp, and then to Buchenwald. In this book Elie Wiesel describes the horrific events that would break any mans spirit as he struggles to survive and stay close to his father who is the only person has got left and also as he defiantly rebukes God for not stopping all of these terrible things that have happened. This was one of the books I read in school, and was the only book I couldn't put down even after I left school. When I finished this book I couldn't help but cry a little because Elie's story was so moving that I felt as if I knew him.
