Night

I'm not sure what to say. For a long time I've avoided works on war, especially World War II. As a student in middle school, I read [b:Number the Stars 47281 Number the Stars Lois Lowry https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1370917812s/47281.jpg 2677305], [b:A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier 43015 A Long Way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier Ishmael Beah https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1436596718s/43015.jpg 825414], [b:The Hiding Place 561909 The Hiding Place Corrie ten Boom https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1320418824s/561909.jpg 878114], and a few other books of that ilk. They always got to me, especially A Long Way Gone, but then I just stopped reading them. So I haven't gotten to Night until now.That was a mistake. Wiesel's account of the nightmare he went through gripped me painfully. The whole thing was honest and raw. Certain sections evoked a darkness and weight that I truly can't imagine. Night was an unforgettable read.
