Summary: A chilling yet inspirational book
Review: In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he not only writes of the hardships he went through, he also writes of the strength he gained. I have read many books over the Holocaust and have done many papers over it, but I have never read a book that gave me chills, and this was the first one to do it. I could not put this book down and I think everyone should be required to read it. Elie elaborates on many things in this book and it is very hard to understand what he actually went through, but he made it as clear as possible which made me enjoy this book even more. Even though I didnt want to read about people getting killed or beaten, I wanted to know everything he was saying. I gave this book 5 stars and if I could, I would give it 6.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Too Many Innocent Lost Lives
Review: This novel is about an incident that happened to innocent people. A young boy, Elie, and his father Mr. Wiesel, and his friends and family had to go through Nazi orders and through the different concentration camps. A lot of people lost their lives just trying to survive a day in the camps. I believed this novel was very interesting and taught me more about the Holocaust and what actually went on. I dont understand how somebody could kill innocent people for fun. Food, water, and clothing was something to fight over when you got a chance at it. This novel is very sad but is good to let people realize what happened and how we should be grateful for the things we have today.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I thought that this book was a good book. Although, I thought that this book was like all the other Holocaust books. All the Holocaust stories tell the same thing, about the Jews being beaten and treated badly. Even though I think it was like all the others, I think this was the best one I have read. I would definitely recommend Night to anyone who is studing or just want to read something about the Holocaust.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: I thought Night by Elie Wiesel was a great book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I was anxious to read about what was going to happen next. At times, I felt like I was in Elie's situation trying to survive. It made me think of how unpredictable life can be. One day, Elie was happy with his life and his beliefs in God. The next events in his life was more of a nightmare. People can easily jump to conclusion of what they would do in his situation, but they can't really say anything until they actually have to face it themselves.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: an experience on the other side
Review: NIGHT by ELIE WIESEL was an extrodinary book that contained a story from a heartbroken jew's point of view. The book lets everybody know what the holocaust was all about and how the struggle to survive was the most difficult task of all. Elie went through so many situations that about 99% of people today couldnt have lasted 2 minutes in Elie's shoes. After i read this book i realized how gruesome the holocaust really was. The book will make you ask yourself questions, such as, how were the germans so terribly mean and crucial? How did the Jews that lasted for five years last? What was the point in killing all of those people? If you think that you know about the Holocaust then read this book and really find out what happen during that time period.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: I think this book was very good. It gave you a personal outlook at the Holocaust from someone who was actually effected by it. I liked this book because of its realism. It gave you a history lesson without sugar coating it. I encourage anyone who wants to learn more about to holocaust to read this book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night
Review: Elie Wiesle's novel, Night, reflects the author's true account of his life during the Holocaust. Throughout this novel you will follow his life through the concentration camps and life in the ghetto. All in all you will discover what Jews went through during this time of death and despair. I find information about this time period very interesting but the book, in my opinion, was rather boring. I understand that this is a person's true life account of his life, however, the book could have been a little shorter than what it actually was.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply amazing - it changed my view of life
Review: the book NIGHT by Elie Wiesel portrays a young Jewish boy's journey through the Holocaust. From when he gots taken away, to when the book ends, I couldn't put it down (and i'm not the most avid of readers). The fact that his and his father's life was in Elie's hands kept you in suspense from beginning to end. A simple crumb of bread or a drop of water, can determine life or death. After reading this book, i noticed many things i would have taken for granted otherwise. I started to be grateful that i'm alive, and how fragile life really is. NIGHT taught me one of life's most valuable lessons. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is truly a masterpiece, as it brings you along on his journey through the Holocaust, with death looking upon him.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night
Review: The novel Night written by Elie Weisel is a novel about a young man that goes throught a herrific ordeal with living in a concentration camp and sees things that no one is ever meant to see.
The most important scene that touched me personally would have to be when Elie was told what life is suppose to be at a concentration camp.He is told that there is no sons or fathers here in this camp it is everyone for themselves.he also told him instead of being slowed down by his father he should take his father ration for himself and get rid of his burden.The reason why this is such an important scene in my mind would have to be that Elie was actually thinking to himself that maybe the man was right.The ironic thing about it would have to be the only reason why Elie was still alive was because of his father yet he was thinking for himself and only worrying about himself when his father on the other hand was worrying more about Elie than himself.
Ponder This
-all the similies are clues to his feelings
-why is the book entitled Night and not something like the name of the camp?
-In your opinion what is night?
In my personal opinion of this novel I tend to think that this novel is okay for something that is not of my interest.I think that it is kind of strange that he didin't describe every detail and only described things that happened at night.It would have been better with more details about more than just what happened after the bread call.I like the fact that the protagonist questions "God" and brings a thought that alot of people think is wrong.Over all I think that it is okay.
I would reccomend this novel to anyone who loves to read about realistic experiences about being in war and being in prison.Anyone who loves to read things that when you close your eyes you can picture in your mind.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: Babeys hetting burned to death. Thrown into the flames of the fire filled trenches. There is a lot of different things and horrible things that happened to the Jews. The things they had to ho through. Being killed, scared, and having no hope and even worse. Wht and how the germans ded this . This is what the Night explained.
The main chaaracters name ws Eli a 15 year old boy. I'm almost 16 so I could relate what a shock he went through. He explained every detail that what went on and how every day went. All the tradgys he witnessed and experienced made me want to close the book, but I kept reading. This is the book taht mades you think how lucky the Jews are today.
I liked this book in a way and then in another way I didnt. Just the way people were killed for the dumbest reasons. It lefted me up set and not happy . I wasnt lide I ever thought it was like. It was unfair and cuel. Im still left in the "why" stage because why the jews. Hardheaded fules.
In the way I lide it was how they never gave up. There were times that he acted as thaough he was hoing to give up , but something made him keep going. I know if that where me I wouldnt of had the sterength to ho on. I would have fell and just laid and let them kell me . But the courage and strength they had , impressed me much.
The bood suprised, impressed ,and even upset me throughtout the whole tragedy. The things they did. The way they lived throug the whoe thing and the guts they were determined the to stop. Burning children I would never except. That is the worst thing in the world.
