Day by Elie Wiesel

ngalbani's review against another edition

5.0

This is the last book of the Night trilogy. I think that, even though Dawn and Day are novels, they complete the trilogy because they describe life after the Holocaust. In Day there are some elements of true life; in fact Wiesel had a serious car accident in New York and, like the main character in Day, he almost died and he had a long recovery in the hospital. I loved more Day then Dawn, they are both small books (a little more than 100 pages) but deep and powerful. I strongly suggest reading all of them together!

I don't have any idea how to review this book. I almost wish I hadn't read it. I do not recommend it.

I want to make a one sentence joke, but can't do that to Elie Wiesel

perhaps reading this third book in a triology so long after reading the other is a bad idea. the book can stand on its own as far as plot and characters, but i think the story of the other two helps to add to the multilayered emotional trauma of the protagonist. quick read.

The final book in which our Wiesel hero (who is different each time) is struggling one last time with his view of life and death. An event brings this struggle to a head by almost, but not quite, ending his life, and then bringing him into contact with his antithesis: a doctor who loves life completely and without caveat. While I was not a big fan of Dawn, I was able to enjoy Day a little more, if enjoy is the right word for such a dark book.

This book made me never want to read a book written by a man ever again.

The final in the Night trilogy. It was my least favourite of the three. It tackled hard topics, but not in the same way Night did. I found myself less able to stay in the character's story.

Elie Wiesel wrote this series of 3 beautifully and powerfully written books about suffering and the meaning of life. Life takes on a whole new meaning after you've finished this trio and you really sit there and ponder life. I recommend this Night, Dawn, Day series along with Viktor Frankl's Man Search for Meaning. These 2 authors changed my life this year, proof that books can change the world.
