I just finished Night. I really enjoyed reading this book, probably I hadn´t enjoyed any other book as much. I have read many Holocaust books due to my school teachers but never had I read one so good or one that felt so real and honest as being read.
While I was reading it I felt the same madness that Eliezer felt for the Germans the same sadness he felt when he couldn´t think about his family all he could think about was food, food, food. It was sad to see that the reality he was living wasn´t only for his family, it was even sadder to see that he faced his dad´s death facing it he was inmobile, unsad, with no feelings. All he did when his dad died was stare at him and then think that he wouldn´t have more pressure on him to help his father all he would have to think about was himself and HIS OWN survival. "I did not weep, and it pained that I could not weep. But I had no more tears. And, in the depths of my being, and in the recesses of my weakened conscience, could I have searched it, I might perhaps have found something like-free at last!" from his dad it´s depressing to hear those words coming from a son. Not only was this was sad but also reading that they lost their feelings and practically lost their life´s point, why would they want to keep on if suffering was the point of being in the camps the whole point for living?
The book has been a great experience I could say that no book had been so fun to read, I don´t like reading. It´s hard for me to sit down and read a book to enjoy so it´s a kind of miracle for me to like any kind of book. Although the whole book was enjoying I still hate the ending he doesn´t really finish telling his story "The look in his eyes,as they stared into mine, has never left me" he left me with questions like what happened next? how did you recover in life? did you find any friends of your´s after the tragedy? What?
In final conclusion I really liked the book but the ending left me with a huge disappointment, it left me totally confused and with a weird feeling.
