Summary: Three Quotes I underlined from Night
Review: 1 : The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes.2 : I do not know if it has ever happened before, in the long history of the Jews, that people have ever recited the prayer for the dead for themselves... 3 : We had to throw our clothes at one end of the barracks. There was already a great heap there. New suits and old, torn coats, rags. For us, this was the true equality: nakedness.

Summary: Read this book or one like it
Review: This is not the kind of book you read for entertainment. It's disturbing; it's depressing; and it's gruesome. This is also not the kind of book for which a critique of the author's writing style is relevant. The author bears witness to what he experienced in the concentration and death camps of Nazi Germany. This first hand account of atrocities is so important to record, that it's ludicrous to fault the author for any deficiencies, real or perceived, related to his writing ability or the choice of content, with the one exception of historical accuracy. If you think of yourself as a good person, and are mature enough to deal with the subject material, you read this book because there were many people like you in Germany, who thought of themselves as good people, who didn't want to think that there were concentration camps located near major population centers committing atrocities, because that thought was depressing, disturbing, and gruesome. Genocide still happens and people should not just say "won't happen here" and give it no more thought.

Summary: Riveting...
Review: Night is an excellent, riveting, page-turning memoir. I found myself not able to put it down once I started reading. The book itself is put together very well. Wiesel uses excellent diction and syntax throughout the piece. The simple and straightforward way he describes his experience is extremely shocking and eye opening to the reader. The plot flows smoothly throughout the book, making it easy to follow and a quick read. The choice of which characters he includes is also effective for the reader, such as the sad angel faced boy. I found only a few flaws with Wiesel's piece. Though it is implied, it is never really made clear exactly what happens to his mother and sisters. I also wanted to know more of what he thought about the separation from his mother. He never goes into detail about how he felt. Wiesel's description is graphic at times and I would not recommend it to anyone of young age.

Summary: Essential reading for understanding the Holocaust
Review: Fortunately "Night" is short, because one cannot help but complete in one sitting. "Night" briefly describes the German occupation of Hungary, deportation, and concentration camp experiences of the author. The description of the occupation is very insightful, describing how the Jewish community gradually lost more and more human rights and then was finally deported. The community refused to fathom that the Germans could be so cruel and that such persecution and genocide could happen in the 20th century, so they kept accepting each demotion, believing - hoping - the persecution could go no further. No doubt this pattern occurred time and time again in 1930s/40s Europe. The description of camp life was gut-wrenching, yet told in a very detached manner. I found the narrative less disturbing than other Holocaust literature (although just as poignant), probably due both to the author's writing style and condensed nature of the tale. I am anxious to complete Wiesel's "Night Trilogy" and read more of his writings.

Summary: COMPULSIVE READING
Review: I had always wanted to read NIGHT and now that I have, I have nothing but the most heart felt sorrow for this poor man and his family. I was really surprised his father had made it as long as he did, and that is a miracle, given the conditions. This book is quick but very powerful, the images are very simple and basic, but that is not to say they are not profound and provocative. I highly recommend this book, it is just another reminder of how low humanity can stoop.

Summary: A sad book worth reading
Review: "Night" Elie Wiesel is a sad book, but worth reading. The story is about Elie and his father. It takes place in Germany during World War 2 and the Holocaust. Elie and his family get sent to a concentration camp. He gets split from his mom and sisters, but he stayed with his father. The story is about how Elie and his father survive together. In the end only Elie survives. I thought the book was great! I like it because the whole book is very interesting. And because I enjoy history and it is a true story.

Summary: Reality and human spirit
Review: I think this book was absolutely amazing. There is such depth in this book, it contains so many issues that Jews had to endure during this tmie of persecution. It makes you think how could people have been so cruel? This book definetly offers an in depth look into the holocoust(sp?) that no teacher can teach

Summary: the painful truth of the Holocaust
Review: Elie Wiesel clearly and articulately brings the pain and horror of the holocaust to a personal level on which any reader can empathize. A Hungarian Jew living in Romania, Wiesel manages to avoid the holocaust until the final years of the war, at which time he and his family are sent to the camps. Wiesel has the uncanny ability to recreate the unimaginable daily genocide so that the reader is placed in his shoes, seeing the carnage through his eyes. The book is written at a very accessable level, and given the gravity of the subject matter is very short. However its impact is similar to that of being punched in the solarplexis. Highly recommended.

Summary: night
Review: The book night is now one of my favorite books in the whole world. The book is a great book for young adults and adults of any age. Night tells you about what happened in the past for the jews that got caught by the nazi's. It also tells you about the consentration camps that the jews got sent to and how they got treated while they were there. The last thing that the book tells you about is how they got sent to different consentration camps and how many times they got there camps changed and they sometimes had to walk to there different camps which were aproximentaly 3-4 hours away in walking distance. this book is a great book and i hope that you get a chance to read this wonderful and true book about the holocaust.

Summary: An excellent source of truth¿
Review: This book was an eye-opener for me. Elie Wiesel had a way of making me feel like I was actually standing next to him while he was going through all of this. He talked about many of the situations with much depth, but not so much that it made me sick. He gave me enough information so I could still understand the troubles that the people of the camps had. It was nice to see how someone who witnessed this felt. After reading this book I want to learn more about the Holocaust and people's emotions towards it. I would recommend this book to everyone. I am positive that if you pick up this book, you will not want to put it down until the very last page.
