Summary: A brief, passionate glimpse into the heart of the Holocaust
Review: The story itself is brief, but that doesn't take away from its impact. The story, from nobel peace prize winner Elie Weisel's eyes, is of his poignant experience with the Holocaust. The book is incredibly touching--the sadness, pain, and courage his people had endured is amazing and should never be forgotten.

My favorite scene from the book found a group of Jews being marched through bitter cold snow to their death. A fiddler, walking along, on the last night of his life, does fall asleep but simply plays his fiddle in the cold night air--plays out in his music his very soul, soaking the air with tremulous sadness and the futility of it all, but underlying hope for all those to hear.

A great read, short, but powerful. I really recommend it.

Summary: Why the jews????
Review: This book is Weasel's account of his intenment as an enemy alien during WWII, a situation in which the deprivations imposed by the war crimes of FD Rosenfeld, the drunkard Churchill and their judeo-bolshevik allies resulted in an indeterminate number of terminal typhus cases among his fellow inmates. Why? Typical answers include:

communist subversion stock exchange swindling usury political, media & sex scandals military shirking etc.

But the ADL disagrees!!!

Summary: One of the greatest books ever written!
Review: I read this book, at school in English class, in the 10th grade. (I am now going into the 11th, as of 6/15/01). I did not think it was going to be a good book. The key to get into the book is to get past the first 3 pages or so. If you can do that you can read the rest. The first 3 pages are kind of dull. After that the drama starts. I love this book so much. It gives a first person account on what happen. I would recommend this to anybody. This book needs to be taught in all high school English classes. I like this book so much, the first day out of school, I brought this book. Read it, you will enjoy it. Also, this book is so good it needs to be a movie, it is that good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: night
Review: This book is very realistic. It makes you think about what people went through just to find their place in society.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night - VR
Review: I really liked this book because it really taught me alot historically about The holocaust and i also found it interesting to be able to see what it was like living through something as horrible as that. It made me appreciate and view my life in different ways.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poorly writen with little detail
Review: I thought this book was writen poorly. I felt that Elie Wiesel did not give us enough information on the Holocaust. I also thought that the plot was not well thought of. I do not recommend this book to read

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eliezer was a strong boy
Review: I think that this book was great and I would recommend it to many others to read. It gave me an insight of how the Jewish were feeling during this time period. It really put me in the characters shoes, and I really admire Elie Wiesel for his courage and sacrifice that he made while having to write this book. A well written novel, and an elightenment to history.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Beautiful Novel
Review: This book is so well written and it is one of the more beautiful novels ever published. I believe that it really deserves everyone of the five stars. However, I am somewhat upset when people give this book a poor review because it contains violence. Of course it contains violence. This book is about the Holocaust, and those were the things that occured. The book should not be critized for it wonderful portrayal of those terrible events. I agree that at times Night can be disturbing. But that is partially its purpose. To show us what occured. This book is a masterpiece and I would reccommend it to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You won't forget this one
Review: I wish that my seventh grade English teacher had skipped Anne Frank and gone straight for this one. Wiesel's account reflects the horror and reality of the Holocaust, and if it is to never happen again, every child in every seventh grade in every country of the world should be required to read it. I read this book over six months ago and the images created by the author's words are still burned permanently into my brain. The description of the forced march of concentration camp inmates as the Russians and Americans only began to arrive and liberate the oppressed will break your heart. I hope Elie Wiesel has found more in this life than the endless night that he describes...wow, words fail me. How do you describe the feelings that something so horrible stirs in your mind, body, and soul?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A most important book.
Review: Night by Elie Wiesel is a book that everyone should read. It's a touching and sad story about a holocaust survivor. The details are so vivid, you could actually see the images of these events in your mind. Everyone should read it to be aware of the atrocities that man are capable of inflicting upon others and also to prevent another Holocaust. It is a novel that I won't ever forget...
