Summary: Tanya's Review
Review: This was a good book. I only wish I could have learned more about the Holocaust. I learned how awful and horrible the Holocaust really was. It was very sad to hear about the families that died and what all happened in the camps. It was amazing that Elie and his father lived through it together for so long. I liked how discriptive the book was because some books you don't really get the whole out-look on things. It made me interested in it more. I didn't really like how the book ended because I wanted to learn what happened after they were saved by the Americans and what happened to his mother and sisters. I wouldn't change anything about the book. It was about his life so it should be told by him how Elie wanted to. Elie published this book so everyone would know what happened during the holocaust. The most memorable part in the book for me would have to be when the got put on the cattle trains and the lady was screaming about fire and they all ended up beating her just like the SS solders would later beat them, "without passion". I think what the Jews went through was very horrible and no one should ever have to go through that. Why on earth people think they are better then other people is beyond me. To think that one race of people can think they are better then another is outragous. No one should be a loud to make camps that people have to go to so they can die. The Jews were very couragous for having to go through that. It just makes no sense to me that the Americans didn't help them out sooner or even let this happen at all. Maybe when I read the rest of his book I will give it five stars. All and all it was a great book and I am glad I got the chance to read it.

Summary: Night, a long nightmare.
Review: You can't say much about likes in this book because its mostly violence. There is nothing to dislike about this book. It tells a story that people went through not to long ago. This is a part of history. I like the book just the way it is I would not change anything about it. You can never change the past. Elie's purpose for writing this book was to let the people know what really went during the Holocaust. Some say the Holocaust never happened, I wish they would tell that to the millions of people who died or the ones that lived but never got to see their mother, father, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin, or any other family member again. One man led this horrible nightmare. One man killed generations of Jewish families; one man changed the world forever, who says it couldn't happen again.
My most unforgettable moment was the hanging of the young boy. People had to walk pass and watch him die. They could not save him; he could not save his self.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I thought the book was excellant. It helped me understand the Holocaust and what happened during WW2. It goes into great detail of how the jews were treated and how they managed to survive this terrible event.I liked how real the book was and how it was a real life story told by a boy who survived.I didn't dislike anything about the book other than just what the book told me happened that I thought was ethically wrong.I don't think I would change anything about it except make it longer.Ellie's purpose for publishing this book is to let people know what really happened during the Holocaust. I think he wanted people to know the horrors they experienced and how they had to sacrifice everything to survive. The most memorable part of the book was when Katz had to throw his father into the furnace because he was to weak. I don't think i could throw my parents into the furnace. I could not imagine being in that position.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Boring Book
Review: The book The Night was a very boring book, I really didn't like anything about it at all. If I where to be able to add on to the book, I would, because it was to short of a book for me. The chapters were kind of short, if they were to be a little bit longer that would of been better, because it would of made the book longer and better.
I believe Elie's purpose of publishing the book The Night was to let people realize and believe the things that really went on in the 1940's. My most memorable part about the book was that Elie learned to sleep when he was running. I believe that would be kind of an interesting thing to do.

Summary: Alright Book
Review: The story Night was a very intersting book; I thought that it was a pretty good book about a boy named Elie who lived in the concentration camp. I liked this book because it is from a person who really had experience the pain of being a camp. There are things that I did not like; some personal reason of mine, when the SSR soliders took babys and used them as target practice. If I can change anything about the book I would add to the end what happen after I was free from the camps. I think Elie purpose for writing the book was to let people know what really happen in the camps and what really went on in some jews head at the time. ...

Summary: Time of pain
Review: I really liked the book. I learned much on what happend durring that time. There wasnt much to dislike about the book because i thought it was interesting the whole time. It was horrible how the germans treated the jews. They put them through discusting things. How they were killed was awful and it shouldnt have happened. I think Elies purpose for publishing the book it to take you through on what happened to him and everyone else.The most memoriable part of the book was when they had to walk in front of the boy who was hung and look at him, and how the man asked elie if it was going to take long because he was hungry. That is sad that the people got used to so many people dieing and got to the point of no feeling.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Be Prepared
Review: I thought the book was very enjoyable for that it gave you the backgrounds and dramatic effects that you might not have known. The book allows you to really understand the events from the past that some people do not believe and others feel very strongly about that did happen.I can't say I disliked stuff on this book for that it's about facts and real life events that happened to the Jews and how bad the Germans were to them under Hitler's rule. The one thing I maybe would have changed is to use more events to try and get even more people to realize how horrible Hitler's rule was over people and hope that more they would understand what the Jews had to face in order of hoping to survive.I believe Elie's purpose in publishing this book is just to let people know of the things the did happen and in a way to try and get people not to discriminate against other becuase there different you never know where someones past lays so dont judge them. The most memorable part was to me when Elie said " I can't cry anymore because I have no more tears to cry,I have cried to much" saying that when her father dies she has no tears and that she saw to many people die and cry that she had nothing left.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night
Review: The book Night was about a little boy growing up in the Holocaust. He had to leave his house and leave his family except for his father and go to concentration camps. It tells about his experiance and what he had to go through. I enjoyed this book because it gives you a real look at what went on during that time. It was very graphic about what really happened. The only thing I didn't like about the book was some of the details it gave you about the killings. I don't think I would change anything about this book because there is no way I could. I wasn't there to say what happened. Elie published the book to let the public know what really happened during this time period. The most memorable part in the book was when the SS soldiers hung a little boy because he helped someone. It was a very upsetting because the camp had to walk by him and look him in the face when he was still alive.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NIGHT
Review: There wasn't much to like about the book. I read a lot of books and I don't like killing and gross stuff. And the book was a true story that made it even worse. What I disliked about the book was just about everything because no one should be treated like that and I really didn't like reading about it. You really can't change it. He told the true even though it was bad. I think the purpose for publishing the book was to let people know how the Jews were treated and how unfair it was to them. The most memorable part (which I really don't want to remember) was when they were using the children for target practice. That was horrible.
The book to me was not good in the sense of what was in it. It was the fact that people were actually treated that way just because someone disliked Jewish people.
