Judges
Judges | Elie Wiesel
4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
From Elie Wiesel, a gripping novel of guilt, innocence, and the perilousness of judging both. A plane en route from New York to Tel Aviv is forced down by bad weather. A nearby house provides refuge for five of its passengers: Claudia, who has left her husband and found new love; Razziel, a religious teacher who was once a political prisoner; Yoav, a terminally ill Israeli commando; George, an archivist who is hiding a Holocaust secret that could bring down a certain politician; and Bruce, a would-be priest turned philanderer. Their host--an enigmatic and disquieting man who calls himself simply the Judge--begins to interrogate them, forcing them to face the truth and meaning of their lives. Soon he announces that one of them--the least worthy--will die. "The Judges" is a powerful novel that reflects the philosophical, religious, and moral questions that are at the heart of Elie Wiesel's work.

Mehso-so

I was fairly excited to read another book by Elie Wiesel that was outside of the Night trilogy, but that being said, I found this novel‘s build up to be slow, and the story itself to be slightly confusing. The whole first half of the book was suspenseful in an uncomfortable way, and I failed to extract the meaning in the ending. Regardless, I did enjoy Wiesel‘s style of writing and the book was so short I finished it in one day.

Has anyone else played this? It's judging a book by its cover and trying to guess as close to the Goodreads rating as you can. I'm kind of obsessed. www.playjudgey.com

Elie Wiesel has passed. One of the bravest chroniclers of the Holocaust is no more. Although Night/Dawn/Day, his trilogy on Holocaust and his own experiences might be his most important works, he wrote many fantastic novels worth checking out. The Judges is one of them.
