Summary: Non-Stop Reading for the Mind and Soul
Review: Reading Night by Elie Wiesel began as a simple two-day assignment for my freshman English class. At first glance, I expected this quick read to be simply one more trite account to the terrible atrocities committed during wwii Germany. But after getting only 15 pages into the storyline, I found myself immersed in the detail, precision, and striking ability with which Wiesel describes his own adolescent struggle. At the age of only 15, he was faced with the daunting task of realizing that not everyone is good deep down inside. As his family is herded from its town of Sighet into trains, and then unkonwingly into concentration camps, the universal good in man which young Eliezer had once believed was stripped from his soul. This emotional weekend read is capable of being devoured all in one sitting. However, while reading this book in our living rooms or at the beach, we must remember what our fellow men and women around the world have been through. As readers, we should take time to celebrate the courage and hope that men like Elie Wiesel have possessed. Without this strong passion for life our world would be so much different than it is today. The few hours we spend reading this book are special. But they are nothing compared to the days, months, and years that thousands of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and slavs spent in concentration camps. If you have ever felt low or alone, read Night, and you will see just how lucky you are to be able to breathe, to eat, to love, to feel, to even be alive.

Summary: Real Like Look Like
Review: Night, by Eliezer Wiesel, is a short novel with 110 pages. In 1941, Eliezer Wiesel, the narrator, a twelve boy living in Sighet, explains his real life in the Concertration Camps during World War II. His story is terrifying, shocking and touched. It is hard to read through the novel without feeling into Eliezer and his family's situation. Eliezer gets used to these vivid pictures of the death people. Wiesel has described a painful journey through this darkness until there are hints that tiny shafts of light can pierce the seemingly unending nights. No matter it is day or night, the life Eliezer lived in only can describe like night. I really enjoy into the reading. There are so many messages for me to learn and go through. As I read this novel, Eliezer's language and description is making me keep turning the pages on. Toward the end of the story, Wiesel begins to expedite his life style. I am freely recommend this novel to whomever the intellectual is who picks it up and wants to gain a more realistic view of the holocaust.

Summary: Truly Captivating
Review: This is the most complete account of Nazi Germany ever written. Unlike so many of the books on this subject, Elie Wiesel brings forth a very personal story.Born in Hungary, Wiesel is deported with his family to the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz. His story is terrifying, shocking, and extremely graphic. He is very candid, and his incredible descriptions truly paint the vivid picture of the Nazi death camp. It is hard to get through this book without feeling for Wiesel and his family, especially his father. Reading about the horrors that the two of them went through was an eye-opening experience. There are a lot of painful memories brought out in his excellent writing, and as a reader, I became part of the scene. I truly felt myself running and working with the prisoners, starving on bread and soup, and feeling their anguish and utmost terror. This book is by far, the most graphic account of Nazi Germany that I have ever read. I was mesmorized by the story, and glued to the book. There are so many hidden messages in the book, as well as some blatant ones right there on the pages in front of you. Wiesel's descriptive language makes you want to keep turning the pages, as you struggle with him and his father for survival. This book is one that needs to be read more, by people from all races, creeds, and religions, so that this horror can never ever happen again.

Summary: A quality review for the intellectual
Review: Recently I have taken the time to read the novel NIGHT, a short 110 page story recounting one mans survival tale of the Holocaust. The story takes the reader to the beginning of the deportation from the ghettos to the harsh reality of living in the concentration camps. The style which Wiesel is concise and to the point and allows one to read through the story with great ease. Towards the end of the story Wiesel begins to expedite his style, which from a historical standpoint, refelects the actions of the Nazis as the war wound down. I would freely recommend this novel to whomever the intellectual is who picks it up and wants to gain a more realistic view of the holocaust

Summary: A Touching Story
Review: The novel "Night," by Elie Weisel is a story of hope and struggle for the survival of a Jewish boy against Germany's "death camps." Elie Weisel, a survivor of the holocaust retells his disturbing tale of the terror that was imposed upon the people of concentration camps. Weisel's srtuggle to survive would most definitely touch all people who read his truely devestating story. Weisel tells of the horror of the huge creamatories, where all people who failed the "selection" process that was imposed on all prisoners, were sent to be burned alive. He tells of the meager meals and unsanitary conditions that caused the death of millions of innocent people at the hands of the Nazis terror. The book is a touching story that most people will be affected by its form.

Summary: Night
Review: The book Night by Elie Wiesel was a great look into the life of a person who actually experienced the horrifying chaos of the Holocaust. The themes of survival, father-son relationship, and Faith in God made this book very interesting. I think that Wiesel did a good job writing this book and the imagery of the concentration camps were displayed very well. Reading Night gave me a better understanding of what the death camp experience was for all the people that were forced into them. I would strongly recommend this book to readers who are looking for an inside view of the Holocaust.

Summary: An Unforgettable Struggle
Review: Elie Weisel's "Night" was a terrific book that informed me of the many struggles that his father and himself went through because of their background. I thought it was an factual, yet interesting book, that I would recommend to anyone that is interested in history of the Holocaust. The constant theme of hope and survival kept you wanting to keep reading on, to find out the fate of Elie and his father. The relationship between Elie and his father not only allowed me to see the willingness of oneself to put someone else you love before you, but also it allowed me to relate to the relationship between children and parents. The thoroughness of this book added to its greatness and allowed it to be very enjoyable.

Summary: Survey Says:
Review: As a class assignment, I was told to read the novel Night. At first I thought that this book was just like many of the others written about the Holocaust. However, after about 20 minutes of reading, I was engaged in a terrific and capturing story. Not only was I emotionally touched on several levels, but I also felt that at my age I could never fathom the incidents that actually happened to Wiesel. Although I hope never to encounter an experience such as this, I feel as though I have a better understanding of life in concentration camps. I highly suggest anyone remotely interested in the Holocaust to read this novel.
