Summary: must read to understand
Review: I was assigned to read this book for school... I wasn't too happy about having more work to do, but i am so glad i read this book. it has graphic details of the terrifying experiences of Mr. Weisel. You must read this book ion order to even come close to understanding something about the horrors of teh holocaust. we must be informed about this so we don't make the same mistake. maybe if we know about past cruelties, we can prevent history from repeating itself.

Summary: A shocking eye-opener
Review: Don't be fooled by the slimness of this book...it packs thousands of lifetimes' worth of horror, despair, suffering, and agonizingly beautiful writing. Wiesel writes concisely but heart-rendingly about his terrible experiences in the concentration camps, the cruel fates of others, and the disgusting acts humans can be capable of. Night is shocking, moving, and above all, a work of extreme cruelty and beauty. May we all learn from it - and never forget.

Summary: Night
Review: This book is one of the most amazing pieces of literature I have ever read. It has the ability to reach off the page and slap you in the face. It is honest, gruesome, gory abut at the same time, wonderful. It is true to life and I love that Eli Weisal isn't afraid to hold anything back. He allows the readers to experience everything he did, whether they want to or not. It is a book that should be required reading for every student all over the world.

Summary: What I Think of Night
Review: Night was a good book. (Obviously). When I had been asigned to read it for my ninth grade honors english class, I was disapointed, but soon found I had no reason to be. Night has graphic details that help people relize the brutality and pain of the people in the holocaust. Elie Wiesel's first copy of the book was over 800 pages, and he shortened it down to this. This book gives a child's honest portrayl of what happened and is very saddening, while enlightning. I would recommend this book to anynone.*if you liked this book, you should try Number the Stars (while easier to read, it also is VERY intersting.)

Summary: Recommend
Review: A thought provoking book. I was assigned to read and review this book for a junior-level university course in Conflict, Violence, and Peace. Along with Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You," I'm starting to reflect the rational of the of the nation-state. This was not an especially moving book for me. I have read more powerful novels on the Holocaust that stirred deeper emotions within me, though I understand how it could affect people profoundly. I do recommend it, however, as a part of a through historical account of the dangers of the nationalism and propaganda.

Summary: WOW! WHAT A CRAZY BOOK! @amozon .com
Review: I think this book was alright because it kept dragging on about crazy people saying fire hen there is no fire. If I didnt know this was a true stroy I would say it was fake. I highly recomend that you read it for you slef. Theonly part I liked about the book is when the german officer beat his dads head in. The sickest part about the story is when one of the german officers raped one of the jewish chicks. I have read some of the people rated this book and I think that they sucked up to my teacher, they said that it was an intense book all the time, not it was some of the time but not always.

Summary: Words Cannot Describe
Review: Powerful yet draining, this petite piece of literature will blow you away. Weisel's account of his horrific experiences during a time of pure hell are graphic and sustaining. The 109 pages of absolute insanctity will alter your view of life forever. Anybody and everybody should read this book. It should be an obligation so we remember not to forget.

Summary: Even a 10th Grader Loves it!
Review: I am 15 years old and so far(along with Johnny Tremain) is my favorite book. I read it cover to cover in a few hours without stopping. This book puts you in the shoes of a young boy during the holocaust, and while you are reading it, you feel his emotions and it makes you go through what he went through. Totally amazing book. If you have spare time and want an interesting novel that will take you back to another year in history then you MUST buy this book.

Summary: A Boy's Journey
Review: I am currently using Wiesel's novel in my tenth grade classroom. The Holocaust survivor's account of his struggle to live places a personal touch on a period of history that our youngsters know little about. The novel deals with the complicated themes of death, loss of innocence, loss of faith, and isolation in an understandable way. Survivor testimonies will always be the best way in which to learn about the Holocaust. I recommend this book to any serious reader.

Summary: Danielle's Review
Review: I thought that "Night" was a very educated and interesting look at what happened to the Jews during World War II. I think it showed how hard it was for families to survive during hard times. It could be a lesson for alot of families in todays world. I advise anyone to read this book at some point in their lives.
