Night [Mass Market Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1991

NIGHT

I started working on this book with the thought that God isn't dead, and it isn't that he doesn't love us, either. It's just that he wants to give us room enough to be ourselves, even if that means we screw up.

If he didn't we'd be nothing but children, and it'd stunt us.

I ended up telling a story that isn't that, exactly -- but that's where and what it comes from. That's what this book -- the story of a man with a forbidding legacy and a destiny he can't imagine growing great enough to face -- means to be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking, August 21, 2000

This review is from: Night (Mass Market Paperback)

Not being a horror fan I was loath to start on this book and only started reading out of desperation and boredom. I've since read it twice more. It's thought provoking and puts an interesting slant on the the subject. It's by no means perfect (a few questions remain unanswered) but is thoroughly entertaining and not a book easily forgotten.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly entertaining, uneven, May 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Night (Mass Market Paperback)

The book has its moments, but as a regular consumer of this type of fiction I couldn't recommend it. One bothersome point was in regard to the "grandfather" character. Was he the protagonist's great-grandfather, or his great-great grandfather? Different places in the book explicitly state each. It doesn't make any difference to the plot, but stumbles in continuity are symptomatic of other problems. The book is uneven, doesn't hold together real well in places, leaves lots of loose ends.
