Summary: NIGHT TIME
Review: Night was written by Elie weisel, is a true story, and is a great book for people above the age of 12, the reason for this is because it delves deeply into the horrors of the holocaust with great detail. It was a long but enjoyable book. Mostly i liked how the author new when to use details of his experience, but towards the end of the book, it seemed that he had forgotten the rest of the story. Parts of this book are extremely violent (i.e. burning bodies and the dumping of children's camatose bodies into large mass graves). Most of the carachters are likeable and you can really get into this book, for me it was hard to put down and i easilly got lost in it. When something bad or good happened you could really picture it in your mind. this is a great book.

Summary: Night the book
Review: I thought this book was realy good. One thing about it was that it was very detailed. One of the very detailed parts of this book was when elie was telling us about the little boy that was hung and still wasnt dead he just hung there dieing slowly.That part of the book was one of the most detailed parts. I rated this book four stars because of the detail of it and it told what realy happend during the holocost by one of its survivors. I thought it was realy cool how elie and his father stuck together for so long and never go seperated during the whole ordeal. This was a realy good all around book. Matt curtis

Summary: my thoughts about knight
Review: This book is an pretty good book and it had a lot of good parts on it so the aurther is a pretty good wrighter. There was a couple good parts in it but the parts I didn't like is wen they were killing inocent people just because of there age or there color. I didn't like the fact that they are just to young or to old they kill them it made me sick when they were walking through the allie they seen thease people impaild with the long poles. I think that the only people to read this book is someone who likes death or someother people who are mature enough.

Summary: germans v.s. jews
Review: Toward the end I read about the torcher the Jews inquired at consentration camps. I read how Elie and his father were starved. They depended on thier rations of soup an bread every day. I also read about how the germans treated them. If the Jews did any thing wrong they were saverily punished. The whole deal was completly insane. If I were predident of the U.S. and I found out about this, I would bomb the heck out of the armies. Any say I think the Jews should have grabed rocks and sticks and revolted. They would have at leased died trying or even won. But the Jews had to do hard jobs such as, lift heavy rocks onto trailers and put people in the creamatory. Sometimes, a son sould have to put his father in the fire or vice versa. I read how Elie hurt his foot and if he would have stayed in the hostpital he could have been killed because the Germans had no use for wounded Jews. I thought it was terible how Elie had heard his father get hit and then listen to him die all night and didn't even do anything. If i were Elie I would have went back to look for the money and gold. I then would have gone on trying to rebuild my life

Summary: "Night"
Review: I believe that this is was a good book for 9th graders to read. It is full of information about Warld War II. Elie Wisel explained in excelent detale about his experence during Nazi camps. The Nazi's put the Jews in gettos with eletric wire fences. The Jews appointed gonvernments and made life easy. The gastapo came in and told the Jews that thay ere going to put them to work in factories. Thay put them in cattle cars, and away thay went to gas chambers, and labor camps. Thay were forced to take all there clothers off, and run. The Nazi's called them cattle and swine. Thay made fun of them and laughed at them. Wemon and children were killed imeadetly. Men 18-40 lived in fear of not making the selection. Thay were alwawys being tested. Thay got numbers put on there arms. Prizon numbers. Thay got heardly any food, and would rather die. Lots of people comited suside. Life for Jews was Hell on earth.

Summary: Vivid and unforgettable
Review: A true account of a teenager's experience in the horrors of concentration camps, Night is both vivid and apalling. Elie Weisel isn't very wordy, instead, he uses base imagery to describe the nightmare of the Holocaust. In the beginning of the book, the Jews cling to optimism, even after being forewarned by one of their own. But as the story progresses, Elie loses his hope, his faith, almost his will to live. Only th presence of his father keeps Elie fighting for life. The most remarkable thing about Night is the way it shows everyones' different reactions to the concentration camps. This book exposes raw human nature, when humans are forced to face a horrifying ordeal. Night, despite its depressing topic, is a book that's hard to put down.

Summary: Horrifying, startling....will touch your heart and soul
Review: Elie Wiesel tells the story of his life, a devout Jewish young man who survives the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The story is stark, harsh truth and while this is a difficult story to read and bear, it is worth each moment. While it details the killing of babies, children and women in horrifying truth, Mr. Wiesel does not stop there. He addresses the question of why and how this occured in his town when there were ample warnings about the future,.. that no one believed it would actually happen to them, there.... His openess about the experience of having your faith shattered and yet still believing enough to be mad at God was brilliantly done. While I have read several books about the Holocaust this one was the most vivid and real to me. The details of life in the camps,and the extremes to which some would go to "merely" to survive were heart and soul wrenching. Seeing this through his eyes was an amazing experience. I have had this book for nearly a year before I read it. I knew the story of the concentration camps and wasn't sure I wanted to learn anymore than I already had. This book is horrifying, startling and an amazing revelation from a true survivor.

Summary: Death of a boy's Dreams
Review: The Jewish family lived in a Jewish community in Sighet in Transylvania. Because they lived in Jewish praise, the Germans wanted to exterminate them. They were sent to Ghettos in their own towns. They were sent to concentration camps and had horrible commands or death. When they were sent to ghettos, they had goods taken away; and if they had a home on the outskirts of the ghetto, their windows were blocked up. The main family got to stay in their own home, and several others did too. However there were only two ghettos held in the town and several families had to share homes with others. They got moved to the last ghetto and then to a train. There were about 80 people on board a cart. They were sent to Auschwitz-a concentration camp. They separated families by women, young and old, and the weak. The main family goes like this: Hilda, the eldest, then Bea, Eliezer, and then Tzipora. Eliezer was the only male sibling of his family. He was 15 and lied to be 18 so that he wouldn't be creamed. His father was 50 and lied to be 40 for the same reason. They stayed together throughout the whole book. The men had to go through showers, new barracks, and running several times a day. There was an actual human with encouraging words, a young Pole in charge of block 17 at Auschwitz, he said "good night". They reached their new camp: Buna, the iron gate. They were sent to a warehouse for electrical equipment, the Kapo was actually a nice one, and allowed Eliezer and his father together. The American planes were bombing Buna, and every prisoner was happy, even if they did get bombed. Even though Eliezer's foot was pussed up and he was in the hospital, he managed to go on the journey to Gleiwitz to run from the Russians. Many had died, and in Gleiwitz another selection occurred. Then in a train of ten days and ten nights sent them to Buchenwald, his father's close death scared him. His father was still alive, but breaths were very shallow. He was struck with dysentery and died with the last words "Eliezer". The liberation happened on April 11th at six o' clock-the American's tank stood at the gates of Buchenwald. I think Eliezer had a very strong personality, he was told to stay standing up by a German officer and did exactly that. He was A-7713, and was known only by that when he received that by needle from the Veterans. He had his number added to a list because he had a gold crown on his tooth; any goods should be given over. But he managed to pull off something stealthy-being sick. Eliezer once wondered in the studies of cabbala, was a strong believer of God, cried when he prayed, and prayed for everything. By the beginning of the New Year, he did not believe in God, Yom Kippur, or in fasting. If he did fast it would be a quicker and swifter way to death. Elie Wiesel's book Night is one of many vile books ever written about the Holocaust. The tragedies and suffering the Jewish people endured during the Holocaust is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this book. Eliezer Wiesel is the narrator and was really in the war. He lasted the whole thing, and gave great description of the war. Only because the bloody, horrific happenings that took place would never leave one's mind. If you don't want to know about how apprehensive life was in the 1940's, don't read this book; however, it would give you great knowledge of one mind of one different race.
