Review: i understand "NIGHT" and realize that this book is not only good, but the book is definitly an amazing find. it was very graphic, and honestly, i almost got sick reading it, because of the intensity of it all. it's difficult to comprehend the truth of it all because it seems so distant. i just can't believe it all happened.

Summary: A well written experience of the Holocaust
Review: Night is one of those books that needs to be read by all. The book is a first-person account of surviving the (...) Holocaust. With only 109 pages, the book is short but meaningful, saturated with horror. As I was reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's that good. With its horrifying details of life in the Holocaust, it gave me the impression that I was actually there. I felt that I was Elie going through life in the concentration camp. I could feel the misery and despair, the torture everyone went through. To read about the struggle and survival of these innocent people made me realize how fortunate I' am actually having a mattress to sleep on or stuffing my face whenever I please. I never knew that the Jewish community went through such misery. The pain of lost love ones, the pain of your body eating away the flesh until there's nothing left but bones, the mental heartbreak of not feeling worthy in the world; all this touches everyone that read this book. At times, my jaw dropped with disbelief; no way can someone go through such horror, but they did and some lived to tell it. I like this book because it shows how people had a strong will to survive. They didn't allow such mental anguish stop them from living. The book Night was a very emotional novel explaining the horror of the Holocaust. I highly recommend this to everyone because it makes you appreciate the value of life and understand the history of the Holocaust.

Summary: A Rare Find
Review: What is so incredibly fascinating about Elie Wiesel's book "NIGHT" is that even though it is a novel, it reads like an autobiography. Not many writers have ever been able to pull that off. Rikki Lee Travolta's fascinating "MY FRACTURED LIFE" captured it, but few others ever have. For "NIGHT" the canvas is the horror of the Holocaust and Wiesel's narrative character is wracked with nightmares and guilt for having survived the death camps. An amazing literary accomplishment.

Summary: Night
Review: "Night" by Elie Wiesel is a terrifying and tragic account of a young boy's struggle to survive a torturous Nazi death camp during the Holocaust. This penetrating autobiography provokes emotion and reveals a powerful sense of reality. It is extremely well written and reawakens memories of the unforgettable actions Hitler and his Nazi regime took upon the Jewish people of the time(1941-1945). This book is highly recommended for anyone who has the strength of heart to relive these tragic events. A phenomenal piece of writing!

Summary: The Amazing story of a Holocaust surviver.
Review: When I read this book for the first time I couldn't put it down. Night is a story that hits hard on the mind, the soul, and the heart. As a person that has been interested in understanding the Holocaust I believe that this book should be just as important as The Diary of Anne Frank.
Night tells the story of a young man that lived through the death that surronded him. This time in modern human history can only be described as horrible and Elie Wiesel tells his story of survival, a story that all human beings should read as to never allow a tragedy like the holocaust to occur again.
This book lives on in the hearts of those that read it. I have not read this book in nearly 10 years and can still remember the pain I felt for Elie Wiesel and the millions of people that suffered at the hands of the Nazi's.

Summary: A Mind Hunting Tale of the Holocaust
Review: I read this book for my Honors English class last month, this book is a serious read that I had to finish it in one sitting. The authors story is very tragic, he knows how to definatly tell a story while still providing us with an unbiaest discription of life in the concentration camps. Even though this is a very short book, you quickly pick up on the characters personalities, strenghts and weaknesses. By the end of the book when his father dies, you come to realise Night is more than just a book, its a history of millions of people who died because of their beliefs.

Summary: A powerful book of the inevitable...
Review: I'm making this review short and simple. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is a horrifying book based on the author's survival of the Holocaust. The book explains the terrible conditions of the concentration camp at Aushwitz and how his family and millions of other Jews died scarcely by the Germans during the terrible time. The book is absolutely astounding! A must-read for any great literary fanatic!

Summary: JEWS, LISTEN TO ME... IT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU
Review: ***** FIVE STARS *****I was in my elementary school, back in the Philippines, when we were asked the question: how many Filipino Nobel Prize winner can you name? I went home, consulted my parent, then the encyclopedia for an answer. I can't name one. Then I remembered someone telling me that Corazon Aquino was named woman of the year by "a" magazine back in 1986. She was, of course, the Joan of Arc of the country, and I thought to myself, maybe she was also named a Nobel Peace Prize winner... back in 1986. She wasn't. It was Elie Wiesel. So before learning the names Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King or the Dalai Lama (the celebrities of the Nobel Peace Prize), I am proud to say that, oddly, the first person that I can name who won the prize... was Weisel. But then, I thought, before, Aquino was more deserving of the prize. I, honestly, "hated" the name Elie Wiesel. After reading his book NIGHT, however, my impression of him changed. NIGHT is Elie Wiesel's record of "his" childhood in the death camps of Aushwitch and Buchenwald. Like THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, the first English book (written by a non-Filipino) I've read, Wiesel's is as powerful and thought-provoking. This is an inspirational, spiritual book. A meditation of what is and what should or could be. Now, more than ever, do we need a book like NIGHT. A guide and a reminder that wo/mankind is powerful, yet terrifying. To remind as that there once was Auschwitz and Buchenwald... and two world wars. NIGHT, also, and more importantly, is a book that loudly asks "what is the essence of being a human?"

Summary: One of the better books in school
Review: I remember reading this a few years ago. It is a pretty great story. The author doesn't drag it out too long. Basically a story about concentration camp prisoners in WWII. Everyone should know about that though. About the holocaust. The thing that is great about this story is it is interesting. Elie does a really good job of making you feel sorry for them, but doesn't make it too tragic. He also writes the story and doesn't try to add fluff. 5 stars.

Summary: Very Well Written - But a Profound Tragedy
Review: Wiesel wrote a timely classic depicting the plight of his family, and European Jewry at large, during the Holocaust. It is extremely well-written, but very sad.
