A review by jaimie_lynn
Night by Elie Wiesel
5.0
I'm 33 years old and this was my first time reading Night. A lot of people I know read it in high school but for some reason I wasn't required to. I'm almost thankful I didn't because I wouldn't have appreciated it then. I barely appreciated any book in school, to be honest.
After reading this, I was completely speechless. I've read a LOT of Holocaust books but none made me feel the way this one did. None. It was powerful and haunting.
I was advised not to eat while reading this book. I should have taken that advice more seriously. I read most of it right after eating a really big meal and I felt physically ill. No book has ever made me feel that way, so I didn't think this one would. I was wrong!
I recommend everyone to read this book at some point in their life. I'm told this is one of the most important Holocaust books around. I totally believe that and completely understand why.
