Night

5 stars ( Night ) - Night Author Elie Wiesel Have you ever been tortured to the point when you just want to give up and die? Well, Elie and his father have been through this experience. Elie is a young fifteen year old teenager who would battle for his right in any situation. He also lives with his father. He was born in a little town called Sighet in Transylvania and lived a modern life until the Nazis came to Elie's home town and started to gather up the jews. They were put into trains that were so crammed that you couldn't even sit down. No one had a clue where they were going. They then arrived at a concentration camp called Auschwitz. The sight of seeing children being thrown into the crematories made Elie think...is my life going to end here? Elie and his father were treated like rats and lived off of every scrap of food possible. All of a sudden Elie and his father had to change camps and head out to another concentration camp called Buchenwald. They had no transportation. The officers forced them to run nonstop to get there. Elie's father tried to give up and die in his sleep, but Elie kept trying to pursued his father to keep running until they could reach the camp. People were being trampled and many were freezing to death from the cold. No one cared, no one bothered to give any food, and the only thing Elie could think about was is there a way to survive? Or is this the end? Find out yourself and read the heart stopping thriller called Night (You won't believe what you will read!). Night is my most favorite book of all time, even though it is the most disturbing book that I have ever read. If you are not into the type of books that have love stories, drama, and happy endings I suggest you read this book. If you did not like The Diary of Anne Frank it would be better to read this book because it really explains how cruel the Nazis were to the poo...

My Horizontal Life - A Collection of One-Night Stands

5 stars (WOW!!) - I am currently reading this book and think it is absolutely great! I've read parts to my fiance and my friends. I've even recommended the book to my sorority sisters since I know they can all relate in some way to the authors experiences. This is a great book for anyone who loves sex, alcohol, and a great time!!! I can't wait to see what other books she comes out with in the future! 5 stars (The funniest book I've read in over 10 years!) - I had to read this book alone, because I laughed out loud so many times that people were wondering what the hell I was reading! 5 stars (AHHHHHHHHH...it's about time a good book came along.) - Normally wouldn't take the time to write a review...but I absolutely LOVED this book! I had heard about this book from my best friend who had been raving about it since the day she read it. Soon after, I caught Chelsea Handler's segment on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno...and immediately knew I had to buy the book. It's the kind of book you pick up and can't put down. Hilarious scenarios that we can all relate to. Even the guy with the negative comment below can relate. Clearly he needs to get laid, and has been turned down on more than one occasion. haha. Anyway...it was really fun to read and left me wanting more, so I thought it was only fair for me to leave a review to show my appreciation :) Thanks for the much needed laughs! Can't wait for the next one. ...
