The Night Trilogy: Night/Dawn/Day by Elie Wiesel
3.0
2.5 stars (4.5 stars for Night)
The first part which is a memoir, Night, truly left me speechless. I've read a fair amount of WWII stories, not to mention holocaust ones; but because of many factors, Night gave me chill. No wonder it's a Nobel prize literature. Words and phrases can't convey the monstrous act that was done against humanity but this book will always resonates with mankind. It was fairly short and concise, should be a reqired reading if it's not already. On the other hand, Dawn and Day are both quite a drag for me to read, no offense. If I hadn't bought the trilogy version of this book (all three parts combined), I wouldn't have read the two latter half. I get the message but they're just simply boring and not that intriguing as they could have been.
Unfortunately, due to part 2 & 3, the overall stars of this book drop drastically. If you're looking for a master piece, reading Night and skipping the other twos wouldn't hurt at all.
