Summary: by far on of, if not THE best book i have ever read
Review: I am a Teenager, 16 yrs old... I read this book in my English class. before I read it, I have never heard of Elie Wiesel or his story, but I couldn't be happier that I had a chance to read his work. This story opens your eyes. We have all heard stories of death camps, including those of our own families but Nothing i've ever heard touched me like this book has. It is one of the best written literature pieces of all time. I would recomend Everyone going through high school and everyone that hasn't read it yet to read it. unfortunatly people are dying. in 10-20 yrs just about all Holocaust survivors will pass on. WE cannot forget what has happend, literature is the only way to remember this horrible genocide. After reading this book NO one can say any word of denial about the Holocaust because they will see what really went on. If you truly want your eyes opened to the truth you must read this book

Summary: Book Review Saga: Night. reviewed by case parrish.
Review: This book takes us through the experiences of a young boy of fifteen during one of the most horrific and inhuman times in history: the Holocaust. Night follows the story of Elie Weisel as he fights to survive during the imprisonment of the jews in WWII germany. Night graphicly describes the torment and deaths of various people, innocent and guilt-ridden during the imprisonment of the jews, and therefore, I would not reccomend this to younger readers. I would however, highly reccomend this book to other, older readers. Night is, in my oppinion, a stunning journey into one man,s pshyche. A modern day epic, and a tale that will both haunt, you and leave you in awe at just how powerful it is. Elie Weisel has blended the best elements of literature and his own personal experiences to create a book which will, undeniably, have a profound effect on you, and leave you forever changed.

Summary: preety good book
Review: After reading Night by Elie Wiesel, I thought the book was preety good. It taught me about what happened in the concentration camps and how bad life was back then. The book was graphic sometimes but showed the reader how bad it was. The book was interesting throughout and I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good interseting story to read.

Summary: Vivid narrative of a grim story.
Review: "Night" is Elie Wiesel's autobiographical short novel of life and death in a concentration camp. There is little plot and character development. Part of the terrible treatment of Jews by the Nazi thugs is denial of identity. The men become nameless, almost faceless, walking corpses. Each prisoner has their number tattooed into the flesh. Elie is A-7713. Death is postponed by ingesting food rations and remaining silent. As Elie's father lay dying, a tough-minded fellow prisoner admonishes Elie to eat the food he saved. Giving it to the dying man is futile. Elie's first duty is to save his own life by whatever means necessary. Survival transcends family relationships. The cost of survival combined with the death of innocence is the theme. The injustice suffered by the Jews is horribly real, but not a revelation. Enduring Auschwitz and Buchenwald scars the mind forever. Survival does not mean victory. After liberation by the American Army, the daylight of Elie's life changed into perpetual night. Elie loses his faith after he suffers mind-numbing horrors in tandem. Elie rages against the seeming indifference of Heaven. His dedication to the Eternal disappears as the black smoke curls above the ovens of Auschwitz. How can a just God seem to stay idle before such godless acts? This is not light reading, and "Lest we forget" is hardly original. However, as new generations drift frivolously along, a reminder of basic truth is appropriate. Read and ponder. ;-)

Summary: An Importatnt Story That Could Be Told Better
Review: Night is not a bad book. It is a good book, but it is not that good. The story or plot of the book is fine. It is a story that needs to be told, but I think it could be told better. Mr. Wiesel takes one idea from the beginning of the book and just uses that up through the entire book. You get his whole idea in the first 50+ pages. That makes the rest of his journey through the concentration camps less intristing and insightful, and it dilutes the power of the story. The problem with the book is that Elie Wiesel doesn't expand the ideas he laid out in the beginning. Yes, this is an important story. But it could be told a lot better.

Summary: Unbelieveable!
Review: This is a good book if you are interested to learn more about life in concentration camps under the Nazis. Elie Wiesel gave a thorough account if his life in concentration camp with his father and how the survived the "selection" process - whereby, unfit, invalid, incapable men were chosen to be exterminated. It is very startling as how such cruelty, evilness can exist in this world. Which was why, the author lost his faith in God as he could not believe that God allowed such things to happen to him and his family. The book did not say whether he regain his trust in God but I wish he would.

It is important now for us, and our future generation to learn about this "nightmare" and for us to never repeat this tragedy ever.

This is a short book but the memory will last a lifetime.
