Summary: A touching story.
Comment: After reading Night, one feels so much empathy for this poor boy-what is perhaps even more disturbing than his original tale is the fact that he is still tormented. We for the most part have every oppurtunity and happiness available to us. Yet at 18 years old, this holocaust survivor is still suffering. Read this after you have read Night. Perhaps it isn't as good as its predecessor, but Dawn is an incredible story. He takes you deep into his own mind, penetrating even to the very spirit of mankind. His family was taken away, his God deserted him-yet he feels strong loyalties to both. It is incredible that so much can happen to one person in their lifetime. This is a good use of two hours of your time. This man has led an icredible life, the likes of which fiction could never touch. Read this book.

Summary: Dawn
Comment: The book it's self as a work of fiction is not the best. Mainly it is just Mr. Weisel's thoughts on how his life could have turned out otherwise. But this is not the book's purpose, only it's becoming. The book looks into the human mind, specifically that of a soldier, and sees how this soldier can be brought to do what they do. It also raises an idea that we are only an acumulation of what people and events have ocurred in our past. Therefore the book has a psycological presence. And as books are intended to do it stimulates the mind and prevokes thought. It also can be read in a couple of hours. It is like economy psycology, more bang for your buck.

Summary: "Dawn"--a powerful and ironic novel
Comment: "Dawn" is a fictional novel about a young man who survived the Holocaust in World War II. He moved to Palestine and got involved in a Jewish terrorist group. In the book he is assigned to kill a British officer named John Dawson, who has been taken captive, by dawn. Although the boy does not want to kill Dawson, he knows that he must for the sake of not disappointing his gang.
Compared to "Night," the first book in Elie Wiesel's "The Night Trilogy," "Dawn" does not have as much history. The only real history in this novel is that the main character's background involves the Holocaust. However, I thought the book was still good. I thought it was ironic how the boy was once the one who was being beaten and starved for no reason, and yet he is now the one who is harming others for no reason. He turned to the "other side." I recommend this book for pleasure reading more than catching up on the history of the Holocaust and World War II, but it is definitely a powerful and gripping book.
