Book: Night by Elie Wiesel
I ran into this book by browsing around Borders. As I was walking by the new releases section I saw the title of the book and thought it was interesting so I read the synopsis. Immediately I was stunned reading that the author was born in Transylvania, Romania, the country where I was born. And even more amazing is that Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize...a Romanian winning a Nobel Peace Prize?...you're joking right?...seriously?...now I was hooked, I had to read this book.
This book is about Elie when he was merely a child, approximately 14 years old, around the time of WWII. The story is of his survival of one of the most notorious Jeweish camps during that time. The book is only 115 pages long, but WOW, so powerful and captivating. His writing style reminds me of Heminway's style a little, short sentences nothing to complicated. Images from this book will stick with you forever. The way he describes the horror happening around him is so simple yet so powerful that it stains your memory.
A truley amazing book. Read it immediately, you can probably finish this book in 3-4 hours.
