Summary: BOTTOMLESS
Review: I always try to read the books that mean something to my children; it seems like a great way to share their lives with them, and to get to know who they are. When one of my daughters was 15, she decided to read this book. I went to tuck her in one night, and when I walked into her room, she raised her eyes from this book and my stomach dropped to my feet. Her eyes were wide, and they seemed absolutely bottomless. I sat by her and hugged her very hard, and she started trying to talking about the book, but she could scarcely find words. I bought my own copy so I could read it alongside her, and I began to understand that bottomless look in her eyes. This is such a powerful book--one that will furrow your brow, purse your lips, clench your stomach, and lead you to think about really big questions. Even now, 2 years after having read this book, I get a slow chill down my back when I glance at the cover. It's not a light-hearted book. It's not one to read while eating snacks and whiling away a little time. This is a book to ponder, to consume slowly, because it will make you think about yourself and other people in this world.

The clarity and courage of Wiesel's writing will take your breath away. You need a bit of strength to be able to finish it; my daughter was extremely mature at 15 and, with a lot of talking and help, was able to absorb and digest the story and its meanings. I truly and deeply appreciate this book; it's a funny kind of book to "love," because it covers such incredibly horrifying events, but I do love it and Wiesel for writing it. If you have someone to talk with, this is a great book to read and discuss--and I'd bet my bottom dollar that you'll want to talk about it after you read it. It's a book you'll always remember, and it will leave a mark on you.

Summary: Good, Yet Easy Reading
Review: If your looking for a good book that will keep you reading, this book is just what your looking for. It tells about all the horrible things that happend to the Jews back in the days of the Holocaust. It's very graphic, so if your not a person that likes gore then I wouldn't recommend this book to you. This book contains a lot of really good information. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn more about the Holocaust.

Summary: Night
Review: I thought the book Night written by Elie Wiesel is a great book for people who are interested in history. I think Weisel did a great job describing what the average Jewish went through in the German concentration camps. The book is written from a childs perspective with an adult point of view. If you have a weak stomach you probably shouldn't read the book because Wiesel goes into great detail descibing the horrers he went through. OverallNight is a good thats worth reading.

Summary: Night
Review: Elie Wiesel's Night is a true account of the terror and horror that the holocaust cast upon millions of Jews. Wiesel's tale is filled with shocking stories of death and destruction. This book may be hard to read for some, but must be read by all because the trials and tribulations that millions of Jews faced must never be forgotten.

Summary: Excellent Book, Excellent Author
Review: This is a very inspiring book for many reasons. I read this book in high school because it was required, however I bought the trilogy (The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, the Accident) because I loved Night. The fact that this is a TRUE story puts a whole new twist on the topic. The Holocaust can teach us all a valuable lesson and humble us in many ways. One shouldn't judge the author on the content of the book because it is based on fact.

I think Elie narrated the incident fabulously. He tells the story as he remembers, leaving out no detail. The realities are hard to stomach sometimes, but such is Life. If we isolate ourselves from the difficulties in Life, we won't be living up to our full potential. This book is a great example of how hard Life is and how there is hope in all situations. I appreciate the blatant truth that Elie poured into this novel. Anyone that can appreciate the world and all its imperfections should read this wonderful book. Way to go Elie, your Spirit lives on . . .

Summary: Samus's Review
Review: "Night" This book, while not being the kind of book i like, was still a very good book. It doesnt matter if you are into the nonfiction or fiction this should be read for information on what people had to go threw in the halocaust.
"Night" is about Elie, a normal jewish boy living in a small town with his family, who gets sent to a concentration camp. While at the camp Elie, his father and thousands of other jews have to learn how to coup with there new life in the camp. Elie Wiesel does an excellent job with hhis detail of the story. there is alot more i could say about this story \, but you will have to pick it up and read it for yourself.

Summary: Rori's review
Review: "I was fifteen years old." I am fifteen years old. I can never imagine going through all of the things that he went through. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel was one of the greatest books written about the Holocaust. Similar to THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, it uses description to attract attention of the reader, and sadness to help understand some of what he went through.
On one hand, this book is good because the author, Elie, tells you all of his most secret of secrets about what he is feeling, and also there are some parts where the reader has to grip their chair in fear wondering what is going to happen to him. Plus, he gives good discriptions of his surrounding enviornment. Then there are grulling details of what happens to people when they die.
On another hand, this book cna be very hard to get into. Elie starts the book very slowly, and gradually gets into the detail. Not something very interesting. Then, he also uses big vocabulary words, and like me, if the meaning of the words are confusing, it can get confusing in a hurry.
So, if the Holocaust was interesting, and THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK was great reading, this book is a must. Although, if books are not fun, and true stories are not entertaining,then this book was made for someone else.

Summary: night
Review: "i'm 15, no your are 18." This is just a small thing that shows how they did not have idiuvalality. In this paper I will tell you three different things about the book night. The first one will be the mood of the story. Second I will tell you about the writing style and how it changes from the begining and the end. Last I will tell how discriptive the book really is.

The mood of the book Night. Is really sad and depressing. They talk about being seperated from their families and not knowing if they would ever see them again. Another way that makes me think that the mood was sad is that they would take babies away from their moms and throw them up in the air and shoot them. The thing that makes it depressing is that they would wont people to suffer so they would hang them infount of everyone in the camp.

The writing style changed. In the begining of the book he was very discriptive. Like when he was talking about the stinch and dark smoke all around the camp. in the end after his dad dies he is not as discriptive. he just says what happened.

The book was very discriptive. He told us about all the babies and children crying, because they did not wont to leave their families. Another time that it was very discriptive was when he talked about how the man did not weigh enough to be hung. So they just let him hang there untill he finally died.

The mood, the writing style change, and the discriptions in the book helped be able to really understand about the holocost. do you know that over 6 million jews died during the holocost time.

Summary: A Gripping Masterpiece
Review: Night by Elie Wiesel was the most gripping, horrific first-hand account of the Holocaust that I have ever read. In fact, I started reading this book on Monday afternoon, and finished it that night without putting it down! It does not seem feasible to me that someone would, or could, make up such events. This story was far too detailed and graphic for it to come from anyone other than someone who went through this hell himself. I can certainly see why the Holocaust "deniers" do not like Wiesel's book. It was a gripping masterpiece, which I believe everyone should read.
