Night book review

Elie Wiesel‘s book Night haunted me with its story of Elie surviving the Holocaust. I believe that every person should take the time to read this book.

The theme of this book could be never give up. Elie was close to breaking down through the hardships he endured while in the concentration camps, but never gave up and died with millions of others. The author’s style is strait forward and easy to read. It made me feel as though I was actually with him in the camps. It is very unique because of the fact that it had really happened.

Main Characters in Night include mostly just Elie and his father. Elie and his father are separated from their family when they arrive at the first camp. They meet many others that they get separated from such as one of their family members they did not usually see otherwise.

The setting for the most part is with in concentration camps in Europe during the Holocaust. Nazis slaughter Jews in the death camps that they pass on the way to the camp that Elie and his father go to. Living conditions were poor. People die from starvation because of the lack of food. They live in close spaces with no sanitation. The plot is a great one because when Elie makes you think it’s about to be over it is not. The book is not long but he draws out the ending.

I would recommend this novel to anyone who would like to learn about the Holocaust. The novel will help anyone have a better understanding of what actually happened to people during this terrible time. It was a good book.
