Summary: Night Review
Review: I liked how the book was an autobiography about the Holocaust. When you read the book, you really begin to understand what actually happened in the concentration camps. I did not like how all of the people were treated and killed for no reason, but that had to stay in the book because its true that those things really happened. I thought the book was well-written and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Elie's purpose for publishing this book is to make people all around the world aware of what really happened at the concentration camps. Many people do not understand the magnitude of what happened and how many lives were lost. My most memorable part in the book was when they used a rusty spoon to dig out gold crowns. -Nick Shaw

Summary: "Night Review"
Review: This book was an accurate realistic view from an actual Holocaust survivor. Elie went through each agonizing experience of the concentration camp. The only thing I disliked about the book was the way it ended. I would have liked to have known about Elie's mother and sister and what happened to him after he was freed with no family if that was the case. I would'nt change anything about the book. I think that Elie published this book to give people a first hand description of what the Holocaust was about. The part of the book that was most memorable to me was when Elie and his father finally made it to the camp after the 42 mile run and Elie's father started to die. After all that he had been through to give up at the very end, that was sad. This was a very good book and I would definitly recommend it to anyone who wants read a nonfiction novel about the Holocaust.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: Eddie Fiscus
I liked the way they described the graphic details, because it gives you a sense of what went on there. I did not like that his dad made it all that time just to die right before they were liberated. I would probably leave it the way it was. I think Elie published this book so people could have a better understanding of what happened at these concentration camps. The part I remember the most is when the little boy is hung but he does not die right away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Holcaust Book
Review: I liked this book because it shows the reality of violence and hate and how it affects people. There was nothing in this book that I really disliked, or anything that I would change. Elie's purpose for writing this book is to tell the world his story from the Holocaust, and open people's to the suffering that went on. The most memorable part for me was when Elie's father died, and because of all the pain he went through he had no more tears to cry. This is an excellent book that everyone should read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I liked how the book gave detail on what happen at the concentration camps. I didn't like that the book didn't have more things about what happen to people that died in the book. There is nothing i would really change in this book. His purpose for writing the book is to prove to people that the Holocaust really did happen. The most memorable part is when Elie was freed at the end of the book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Turns to Day
Review: I liked how Elie Wiesel told his true life story in his own book. I didn't like his story as much compared to what I saw in the movie Schindler's List. This book just wasn't as interesting as the movie. I wouldn't change anything about this book considering Elie actually lived through this. It's his story. Elie's purpose for publishing this book is to prove how horrible the holocaust really was. My most memorable part of Night was when Elie's father died. Elie did not cry. He had no more tears.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: night book
Review: I enjoyed this book because it really kept my interest the entire time. I'm really not much of a reader, but this book was well written and it really put you in the narrators shoes and kept my nose right in the book.I liked the book because it kept my attention. It wasn't action packed but it really was very graphic and painted quite a picture in my head of the holocaust.There really wasn't anything i didn't like about this book exept the fact that it was really sad.I couldn't say I would change any thing from this book, I couldn't do better myself.I think the purpose for Elie writing this book is to share his story and let people khow how it was for the Jews in Europe and what they had to go through.The part I will remember the most is the boy who got hung and didn't die right away and everyone had to look him in the face. Overall, this was quite a good, but very sad book

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In to the Night
Review: The tradgic but true story of Elie Wiesel's experience in the Holocaust is one of the most enlightening stories ever written. I'm not sure if he could have been more honest but he certainly did relay his message. This story awakens you to how the world really is. It pulls the veil out from over your eyes and exposes you to the harsh reality that the world is cruel and can sometimes be unbarable. This story is a documentary on human behavior. It explains how we might react under certain conditions. And how propaganda can change how we might originally react. This book is something that i will remember always. I will carry this information with me from now on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tragedy of the Holocaust
Review: During the Holocaust there was alot of suffering. People died just for the fact that they were Jewish. The German soldiers were trained and told to torture the jews. They killed the jews for no apparent reason. This book was very interesting because, of the different ways that people survived. I like how they don't surgar coat things. They told how it was no matter how volgure it was or discusting. I thought that it was hard to believe that the jews just sit there and let them build fences around their house anyways. Something should have been done about that. They should have rised up and took a stand. If all of them did that then they might not have been in that situation. How could there be so much hate from people. I don't like that. I don't like how the book just came out and said what happened. Just because I feel selfish. I just want to sit there and cry. What would I have done in that situation?? Who knows.. The US should have done something way before they did. Elie's purpoose for this book is to show people like me, who didn't know what had happened the truth. He wanted to let everyone know how fortunate we are. What they went threw and how they got threw it. How the parents were taken away from their kids and how they all just killed them and kept stacking bodies everywhere. How the strong son Katz had to put his fathers body in the furnance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jill's review!
Review: Night by Elie Wiesel was a brilliant tale about a mans experience during the Holocaust. The book gave great detail about everything he suffered and witnessed. At times the book moved slowly but it always regains your interest. If i could change the book in any way I don't think I would, because this is a true tale of a mans experience. And the fact that he lived through it is amazing, let alone wrote a book about his experience. Elie's purpose for publishing the book is to let everyone know what the Jews had to deal with and also to educate people on what really happened. The most memorable part of the book for me was when Elie was in the hospital for his swollen foot, and instead of staying in the hospital for fear for the SS murdering him he left with the camp only to find that the people in the infirmiry were soon after liberated by Americans. Night was at the borderline of four and five stars. I didn't give it five because I didn't like how it ended. The whole book is full of detail except it seems to end abruptly. Hey Mr. Rietman :o)
