Wait, the guy who wrote Night sucks? Or just his son? That's too bad either way. I don't remember too much about the book, last read it in school forever ago, but I remember it being very emotionally powerful.
It's still a really good and important book that is accessible to young teens to teach them of the horror of the holocaust. Any criticism of Wiesel has to do with his later actions and stances.
If anything him later on saying shit is proof that living through something doesn't make you an expert and being a victim doesn't mean you are beyond reproach.
