Summary: Second Time Around
Review: I recently read this book for my Historical Literature class and right of the bat remembered that I had read it before. The book is a elementary to middle school level, and that was about the time I initially read it. The second time around, I was able to grasp the ideas and content of the book I could not catch onto when I was younger. I am now a junior in high school, and have been educated of the holocaust for many years. Night raised my level of awareness for the struggles of the holocaust and helped me to gain an appreciatence for what our elders have endured. The relationship between the father and his son was a pure demonstration of the strength one needed to survive in a concentration camp. If it wasn't for the closeness they held onto, I believe both men would not have survived. I would recommend this book to people who want to be aware of the make-up of our history, told through the struggles of a father and a son's experiences.

Review: I thought this book was a very inspiring book. Elie though the whole thing all ways thought positive. His courage really surpised me. Because I don't think I would of been able to be that strong though that horrible experience he went though. Although it was very sad in parts I though it was a VERY GOOD BOOK! I think everyone should read it!

Summary: A Night to Remember
Review: I thought that this novel was brilliantly explicit. Wiesel did not leave out any details from his experience. I loved the fact that this book was done from a child's persective. From cover to cover, it was disturbing throughout. It is very interesting to compare this novel to Roberto Benigni's movie, Life is Beautiful. The excruciating details were possibly too graphic for me. I would prefer a more subdued form of looking at such a serious topic as the Holocaust. Yet, I believe that Wiesel did an extraordinary job of telling it the way it is.

Summary: Night
Review: The book was great. There is only a few books you have to read in your life and this is one of them. It is very sad at times. You learn how a father and a son value each other. They look after each other in my opinon that what makes this book so good.

Summary: A graphic portrayal of the holocaust
Review: Night was a very creative book. Its detail and characterization was easily defined within the first few chapters. Its graphic material was hard to swallow, but it brought out the holocausts horror and realization. This novel was written well and hopefully everyone can experience this novel.

Summary: Night, By Elie Weisel
Review: The book Night by Elie Weisel is an accurate look into the life of a young jewish boy sent to a concentration camp during WWII. Night gives the reader insight into the horrors and dangers he faced. Although it is very in depth and graphic, it provides a real sense of how life was. Very well written!

Summary: Night Is Excellent, but Typical
Review: Night, by Elie Weisel, was an excellent, bone-chilling book about his own first hand experiences in the Holocaust. Even though it was an amazing book, it seemed like everything else written on the subject. Definitely a can't-miss, but be prepared for the expected.

Summary: Kimberly's Review
Review: Night is a truly touching book and brings to life the Holocaus. The images it puts into your mind are unforgetable and horrible. Knowing what your immagining isn't half as bad as what millions went through is a reality check. The only way to describe the Holocaus is horrible and inhumane. This book is about a 15 year old boy (Elie) who is taken from his city with his family to a concentration camp. The hell they go through is depressing, and explained so well. I read this book when I was in 8th grade, and now being in 10th I see things in a completely different way. I recomend this book to everyone who wants to see a childs view on the Holocus and really feel the pain millions went through.
