Summary: Night
Review: After reading the novel, Night, I would have to give it four stars. Five being the best. I really enjoyed the book, but it didn't have me interested from the beginning. The book started off pretty slow and I really didn't get into it until after the first chapter. Once the author started to really get into detail of his life in the concentration camps, and being separated from his family is when it really caught my attention. Not a lot of books keep my attention, but this one was different. Maybe it did because this was a true story. The author did such a good job explaining the horrible things he went through as a child. I couldn't imagine going through the things he went throught. It had to be really hard writing this story but he did such a good job and I reccommend this book to everybody.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hmmm
Review: Night was one of the best and unique books I have read about the holocaust. It gave the psychological aspects more than just the physical ones which lets the reader understand more of what the people are feeling emotionally. The plot continues to keep you hooked on what's going to happen next through the killings, selections, and departers. From the first page, there was anticipation on what was going to happen to the main character, Ellie, and his family. I would really recommend Night to anyone who is interested in reading about the Holocaust. I can almost guarantee that you'll enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night
Review: Elie Wiesel's book, Night, revealed parts of the Holocaust that only someone who had gone through this horror could describe. He created an atmosphere that was mysterious and new to me. It drew me in to want a more conscious understanding and realization of what really happened. Elie described each camps treatment with great visuality so I could identify what was going on, but did not disgust me to the point to stop reading. This book showed how people act when they are in an extreme situation and that you need to be independent to survive. His words brought out emotions of sadness and helplessness and the question of why it took the world so long to acknowledge and respond to this great massacre of people. The book Night had an enormous impact on me which has made me curious to know more about the Holocaust.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I thought that the book Night was a very informational, understanding resource about what happened in the Holocaust. It was a great book. This book told me things that I would probably would never have found out. I liked how the book was about the author and his real life experience. I would really like to thank the author of the book Night for sharing this information with anyone who reads this book. I think that this book was probably the most interesting book I have read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read
Review: I read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. It is about a young Jewish boy who tells you about his first hand accounts of the terror of the Holocaust. Starting from the ghettos to the concentration camps. The horror that Elie went through is expressed through some emotions and even sometimes the absences of his emotions. Elie is first put through the horror of Auschwitz, seeing people around him dying. Elie starts to question his faith in God. As only a young teenager, Elie is put to the depths of hell and has all of the experience to share because he survived.
This book is a must read if you have any interest at all in the Holocaust or World War II. An account of horror that you will never forget read the book as soon as possible.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: *A Wonderful Book!*
Review: I thought that the book Night was a very good book. The author didn't give many grusome details, but instead talked about the emotional aspect of it. I have read a lot about the holocaust, but this book is one of the best that I have read. It goes into detail about exactly what happened while they were in the concentration camps. I actually felt like I knew Elie, and his family members, and I felt like I was there. I think that the things that happened to Elie, along with the others in the camps, was awful. The Germans treated them horribly, and I don't understand how anyone could torture innocent people. So overall I thought that the book Night was by far one of the best holocaust books ever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: night review
Review: I think that this book was an interesting view of the world of the people who lived in and through the Holocaust. The feelings of human despair and the loss of faith are vividly described by the author. The way that people around Elie reacted to their situation was very real and believable. His story is the epitome of the Holocaust experience. The most moving situation in the story was the hanging of the "sad eyed angel". This shows the relationship of religion and human emotion, in my eyes anyway. The story is the most gripping that I have read this year and may be the only very moving story that I will read this year.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: *A great book*
Review: I had to read this book for my English class and I enjoyed it very much. I have read many books on the Holocaust and this was by far one of the best. Most books want to include the horror on a physical level but this book took the horror on a moral level. Elie Wiesel did a great job explaining the emotional pain and also the mental abuse that went along with the Holocaust. This is not a long book and would be good for younger kids that are interested in the Holocaust to read. The book is easy, the content isn't very graphic, and there isn't a lot, if any profanity. Overall I thought this was a great book that did a great job at describing things that are so hard to comprehend about the Holocaust.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: English Assignment Review
Review: Night deals with more of the emotional and psychological aspects of the Holocaust. The book mainly concentrates on the author's own experiences at the concentration camps rather than the overall view of Hitler who is only briefly mention in the book. This book is one of the easier books on the Holocaust to read because it does not go into too much detail about the tortures the Jews and other minorities had to go through, but yet at the same time it gives you enough information to gather a perspective of what the camps were like. When I first started reading Night I didn't think I would be able to get further than page 7 because it didn't hold my attention, but once I forced myself to pick it up and actually read it I was able to fly through the book in no time. It is so sad to think this only happened 60 years ago to a boy that is almost my age. It is absolutely amazing to me how the prisoners in the camps made it through each day of hell. You don't want to believe what you're reading actually happened. It makes you wonder where did they find the strength to carry on?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: *My review of Night*
Review: I have been interested in the literary works concerning the Holocaust for years, ever since I read the Diary of Anne Frank. The things that went on disgust me and tear at my heart, but for some reason I'm also very intrigued by what occurred in all of those concentration and extermination camps. I first read Night a couple months ago- I didn't realize just how horrible the events that Elie described were, until I read the book a couple weeks ago for a second time. The traumatic experiences that Elie describes are enough to make your heart ache, but at the same time, he does not go overboard in detailing the more gruesome cruelties. That is one reason why I like this book. I also like it because of the informal manner in which it's written- they are just Elie's words, his memories- he doesn't need to spell everything out or spend time recapping who the characters are, because they are not characters- the people were real. If you are a fan of Holocaust books, I would definitely recommend that you read Night at least once in your lifetime.
