Night by Elie Wiesel

Another good book. I read this in high school modern fiction. It's semi-autobiographical. A young boy survives the death camps of the holocaust, losing his entire family in the process. He comes to question God and the nature of man. It's a fast read for advanced readers--a small paperback. For those unfamiliar with the holocaust it could be startling and for non-advanced readers, down right scary.

This book makes you think about life and the tragedies; the horrible, awful things man can do to man. Wiesel is a Nobel Laureate and on Oprah's reading list. I think the laureate is a little more prestigious, don't you?
