I read this almost ten years after first reading [b:Night|1617|Night (The Night Trilogy, #1)|Elie Wiesel|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1473495285s/1617.jpg|265616] and a year after reading [b:Dawn|11166|Dawn (The Night Trilogy, #2)|Elie Wiesel|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1416448131s/11166.jpg|164328].

I don't know if Wiesel's truth in this book is True or not. Only several weeks ago, a survivor of the massacre at Parkland killed herself. Was it because she was carrying the dead inside her?

"...why should God be allied with death? Why should He want to kill a man who succeeded in seeing him? Now, everything became clear. God was ashamed. God likes to sleep with twelve-year-old girls. And He doesn't want us to know. Whoever sees it or guesses it must die so as not to divulge the secret. Death is only the guard who protects God, the doorkeeper of the immense brothel that we call the universe."

I'm glad I read Night. But there was no good reason for me to have read this book. I didn't enjoy the style or the characters really any details or meaning. I get that our main character was at least depressed if not actually suicidal, but I really didn't care. Mostly readable, but also mostly tiresome. It was a character study, but I'm not sure that was a good thing.
