Summary: The consequences of ignorance about evil
Review: Elie Wiesel's account of his nightmarish 15th year of his life is a very powerful, moving story. The forward itself is enough to put provoking thoughts into one's head. Here in this novel, a young male adolescent's mind is put to the ultimate test; faith under fire from one of the greatest evils in American history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it was not a walk in the park to read, it was enjoyable because it moved you. At one point in the book, one gets so caught up in the blunt wording that only a child could use; a child that has not gone through life's trials to know the proper balance of honesty and sensitivity. Sometimes, this book brings you to your knees as the burning truth comes forth; evil is very prevalent in the world, and more importantly, evil was rampant and real in this history of the world. This book is so unique in the fact that it gives glimpses, as noted in the foreward, to the mindsets of the people. The ignorance and the missed chances to live resonate completely throughout the book, giving off the sense to the reader, "if only..." As the book progresses, you get the shredded ray of light that promises hope. And it does end with good tidings, but this book is so awesome because it does not concern itself with physical hope but with mental, emotional, and spiritual hope. And at the end, there is none. The Holocaust has taken its toll too harshly on this young 15 year old boy. The damages have been done. This book is an excellent read because it reminds us of the evil and how if it is unchecked, it can not only rob the world of life, but of the single thing that is vulnerable, human freedom and happiness. Through the eyes of a 15 year old, "Night" is a gripping book that brings all these things to life.

Summary: Night by Elie Wisel
Review: I think the book Night is a pretty alright book but i wouldnt read it if were reading a book for fun since it is about people getting tortutered during the World War II. It tells about the author and how he was in a concenttration camp with his father and how he survived though the ordeal. This book shouold not be read by a little kid or it will give him a nightmare. It should be better for people that is older nad more mature and not a chilidsh person.

Summary: The "night" sky contains 4 stars
Review: The book Night, by Elie Wiesel is an extremely interesting read. This nonfiction story about Elie Wiesel's childhood is a life-struggling journey through many parts of Germany from the 1930's to the 1940's. This book will draw in the reader on the first page. The descriptions of the concentration camps are uncanny. It's almost as if the reader was really there right next to Wiesel fighting for his life alongside him. The great thing about this book is that it is a short read that can be accomplished within the vicinity of a few days. Elie Wiesel has many people in his story who, for the most part, keep him alive. He meets a young musician his age, and his father who "saves his life" on numerous occasions. By this it means that he will not let his son give up on hoping for life. This is a heart warming, yet a tragic, story of Nazi Germany and a young boys struggle. I would easily consider this book for anyone.

Summary: Horrifying
Review: I read this book over the summer for my freshman English Honors class. To say the least, it is one of the most horrifyingly objective and meaningful books ever written. I read it in a single evening, unable to put it down. It was like a car wreck-It was terrible, but I had to finish it. I couldn't stand not reading it. The spiritual, emotional, and physical changes that Elie goes through serve as a frightening allegory to the condition of the human race, as well as teaching a lesson about the tides of war. Simply perfect.

Summary: The simplicity is terrifying.
Review: In this slim little book is a horrifying account, told for the eyes of a young boy who begins to loose faith in his God. It is your typical holocaust novel, but it's small size and simple language work to intensify the moment. You begin to realize just how naive and young this boy is. There is no emotion, no screaming and crying, simply silence. He accepts his fate, his shaved head, the people dying around him. The simplicity of this book is frightening. The writing is comprehensible to a twelve year old, but do you dare put this shattering piece in their hands? It might do them some good.

Summary: One of the most powerful books I have ever read
Review: Elie Wiesel's narrative is similar to The Diary of Anne Frank, as it takes you into the world of the Nazi prison camps that consumed Germany during the early 1940s. Wiesel's illustrates the tragedy that the prison had on him as a youth in just the first day: "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed." Wiesel's novel, which is pretty much an autobiography, captures the brutality and horrors of the Holocaust in a Nazi death camp. I found that Night was one of those books very tough to put down because it is a powerful read and the descriptions were brutally honest. It was gripping, and you feel the pain that the narrator feels as he and his father try to maintain hope while trying to survive the trials of a concentration camp when he is constantly being surrounded by death. This was one of those books that made me think deeply about the situation of the Holocaust, the tragedy it caused and how those who suffered should never be forgotten. The narrator's main struggle is not only a physical struggle to survive, but also a psychological and spiritual one as well. He wavers in his faith in God because of the realities of horror he experiences and sees, but he uses his faith to also make it through each day. That, and the thought of staying with his father, keeps him going despite hunger and emotional and physical abuse: "I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his only support." One reviewer, Gary, made a comment about this book's style being irrelevant to critique because of the deeply troubling and significant subject matter of the book. I agree wholeheartedly. Night is a book that people should be exposed to because it paints a perspective on history that stays with the reader. Also recommended: The Diary of Anne Frank
