Summary: Bury the Dead
Comment: This was a difficult book to enjoy most of the way through. We understand that this is a Holocaust survivor who has seen everyone he loved die or disappear. We want to reach out and understand him. However, he is so caught up in his past that he is constantly tearing his present to shreads. Frankly, we begin to lose empathy and/or sympathy with him until he is finally confronted with the cause and solution of his inner turmoil. Actually, we know the cause but it becomes clearer as to why that cause is so rooted within him. The solution is brilliant and worth the whole book for the understanding it brings to the reader. "The Accident" that happens is merely a vehicle in which the resolutions are enabled to happen. This book is an important addition to Holocaust Literature and is an essential reading for those truly interested in the subject. Don't despair with the book until you've finished it.

Summary: More of a 3.5 really
Comment: This Book was a poor follow up to Night. After reading Night I was blown away on how the book appeared to be flawless and inspiring. The Accident however was Elie Wiesel, in a nutshell, mourning constantly about his past. Love and Despair. Life or Death. Some of the things he does in this book makes me despise him. I hope he has found what he wants out of life or death, but please Wiesel do not write another horror story...

Summary: The Accident
Comment: This book was about a young Journalist named Eliezer who steps off a curb into a speeding taxicabs path. It leaves you thinking if it were an accident or an attempt at suicide because of a terrible past he had. There was plenty of times in the book where i didnt get what was going on. It was a well written book though. I think if i would of read Dawn and Night, the other two books of the triology with The Accident, i would of had a better idea of where Elie Wiesel was coming from. I didn't know this book was part of a trilogy, but now that i know i would like to read the other two to have more of an idea of the character's past.
