Summary: night
Review: Night was an okay book. There were many things I liked about the book. One was when Elie just always wanted to be with her dad and really never wanted to leave him. I thought that was good because it showed that family came first and that is how is should always be. Another one was all of the gory content in the book which made the book get interested and made me want to continue to read it.

Things I disliked about the book weren't really the books fault. I didn't really enjoy hearing the many rude and crude things the Nazi people did. They could have been a little nice to them and gave them some fried chicken from KFC every now and then or something like that.

If I had to change anything I would have wanted Elie's dad to live or for Elie to find his mom and sister. I just wish it would have been a little happy ending with all the family meeting up and giving hugs and kisses.

I think Elie's purpose for publishing the book is to give everybody a little feel for what happened to all the Jews during Holocaust. Also, all of these people are trying to say that the Holocaust didn't ever really happen. Elie is just trying to give everybody a feel for what did happen and give some facts and stories about living the life of a Jewish prisoner.

The most memorable part for me was when Elie's father passed away and Elie couldn't even cry because he didn't have any tears left. That just shows how bad Holocaust really was. I think many things could have changed if everything went as planned, but the fact that there weren't any tears left just shows something about how bad the Holocaust really was.

Summary: The Truth of the Horror
Review: I found this book to be extremely interesting and gave great insight to a subject that is often overlooked. The book has amazing details that are so vivid and so real. The book puts a whole new perspective on the entire events that took place. I really enjoyed the book and there is really nothing that I would change. Elie Wiesel did an outstanding job of truly capturing the events that occured. I think Wiesel's purpose of writing the book, to inform people that the Holocaust was real, was accomplished. Many parts from the book stick out in my mind, but not one particular. The thing that sticks out most in my mind would have to be the loss of their loved ones and the emotions and feelings they had throughout.

Summary: NIGHT REVIEW
Review: I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK MORE THAN OEDIPUS. WHEN READING THIS BOOK I REALLY FELT SORRY FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE HOLOCAUST. THE AUTHOR WAS REALLY GOOD AT DESCRIBING THE EVENTS THAT HAD TO GO THRU AND THINGS THEY SURVIVED. THE MOST MEMORABLE PART FOR ME WAS WHEN THEY WERE ALL STUFFED INTO THE BARRACKS AND ELIE HAD TO CLAW AND SCRAP HIS WAY TO THE TOP TO GET SOME FRESH AIR. I THINK ELIES PURPOSE FOR PUBLISHING THIS BOOK IS TO EDUCATED OTHERS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND TO HELP PROVE THAT THE HOLOCAUST DID HAPPEN AND IS NOT A MYTH. I HATED THE BEGINING OF THE BOOK. IT WENT BY SLOW AND WAS VERY BORING. I KNOW THAT THE AUTHOR WAS TRYING TO GIVE BACKGROUND LEADING UP TO WHAT THE BOOK WAS MAINLY ABOUT, BUT IT REALLY DULLED THE BOOK DOWN IN THE BEGINNING. SO I WOULD DEFINITELY CHANGE THE WAY THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN THE BEGINNING. MAYBE SHORTEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT OR DOWNSIZE IT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE! IT WAS WORTH IT...THE BEGINING DOES GO BY SLOW BUT IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THRU IT THEN YOU'LL BE IN FOR A GREAT READING EXPERIENCE!!!!

Summary: the review from transylvania
Review: I liked the story of the book. It put the Holocaust into perspective a little bit, and really made you think about the suffering that the Jews went through during World War II. There are also things about the book that I did not particularly like. I dislike how his dad died at the end, after all of that suffering he didn't even survive; I was perturbed. I would change nothing about the book. The book is a true story, he is telling the facts. When you start lying, the book becomes fiction. Elie wrote and published the book so that people would have an idea of what kind of suffering was happening to innocent people during WWII. And to make some money i'm sure. The most memorable part is probably the end when he said he looked at himself in the mirror for the first time since the ghetto, that kind of stuck with me because I look in the mirror everyday and I would find it very odd to not look at myself for years. It would be like meeting a new person, and at the same time it would be one of the most frightening things to see as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review of Night
Review: Night is a very interesting book. I like how it is a true story told through someone who was actually there and experienced the whole thing. I didn't like the graphic parts, but I feel they were necessary to get the point across. I wish he would have said more about his mother and sisters, because you never find out if he was ever reunited with them or if they didn't make it out. I think Elie wrote this book to prove to people that there really was a Holokaust and that it wasn't just something that was made up. My most memorable moment of the book was when the little boy was hanged. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have to see that. You would get use to seeing the thousands of deaths, but watching one young child die slowly would just be too much.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I really liked reading this book. The book was written well. You were always interested in what was going on and wondering what was going to happen next. I didn't like reading in detail about the awfull things that were done to the Jews. However, the book wouldn't be the same without the details that were included.
The book is very informative about all of the things the Germans did during the Holocaust. I think that it is important for people to be aware of of botht the good and bad things that happened in history. I can't really think of much that i would change about the book. However, I would have liked for the bool to have some pictures and maybe talk some about what happened when the Holocaust was over.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Night" To Remember
Review: I really enjoyed reading the book, Night. The book was interesting from beginning to end, and it kept me in suspense. The detail of the book was astounding. There wasn't much about the book that i didn't like about Night. The book was very well written so there is truly nothing I would change about it. Elie wrote this book so he could tell his of his experiences during the Holocaust and to straighten the mindset of those with false stories. The most memorable part of the book for me was when a boy had to push his living father into the furnace where bodies were cremated.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: I liked this book, because it was a true story of one's experience as a Jew during WWII, unlike the other silly books I have read in English during my high school career. Before I read the book I had high expectations, because of what I had heard; it was good, but it didn't meet the expectations I had. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. I wouldn't really change anything since it is a man's real life experiences. Elie's purpose for writing the book, is too inform others of what is was really like in concentration camps, etc. The most memorable part for me was just hearing of all the struggle's Elie made it through. Another memorable part was the part about the young boy that was hanged.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night
Review: 1. The book did a really nice job of explaining in detail how horrible the torture was for the Jews all throughout the Holocaust. I enjoyed how Elie did not hold anything back in his novel, and was very descriptive.
2. I thought at some points he dragged out some ideas that he was trying to get at that never meant anything later on in the novel.
3. I doubt I would want to change anything about the book.
4. Elie published this book because at the time there were a lot of people who doubted the torture camps and concentration camps, and so he wrote it because he survived the horrible death camps and he wanted everyone to read about them and know the truth.
5. The most memorable part was when they were leaving the ghetto and Elie's family was split apart. I can't imagine being split from my family, especially in a time of war and when I wouldn't know what was going to happen to any of us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night Review by Jamie Shrodes
Review: I liked the book Night because it gave great detail about what happened during the Holocaust from someone's point of view that actually experienced it firsthand. The only thing I disliked about the book was that there were some things that may have seemed a little outstretched. I wouldn't change anything about the book though. Elie's main purpose for writing this book was to teach people about what he experienced, and also there are people that do not believe the Holocaust ever happened, so he tried to prove a point that it really did happen.The part of the book I remember the best is the part where they hung the boy and ahd to look in his eyes.
