Summary: Night-An Intellectual yet Stunning Book of Facts
Review: This book, Night, made me think a lot about life. In it, Elie described his feelings and emotions of what was happening when he was in those camps. He shared his feelings with the world for all to know. That was a lot to share, since so many terrible things happened. I almost cried when I read of Elie and his father being seperated from his mother and sister and then being shown the burning pit, hoping with all his might that he wouldn't have to end his life there. So many many times did he face death. When he was starving for the 100th time, and he felt he couldn't go on. Then he thought of his father and he knew he had to survive. He thought a lot in those camps, and he reasoned that God was not on his side, that he was not there for him. I felt that this was an exceptional book. It gave us a glimer into what life was like for all those innocent people, and it showed us that we should hate those Germans for what they did, for they are without a dought, some of the most evilest people to ever walk the earth. They would do terrible things to those people, just for fun! I would like to see what happened to them, if only their punishment was enough.

Summary: what to think
Review: This was a horrible action that took place in History. To think that this is only a glimpse to what happens, make me sick, but the book is well written, and very easy to imagine what is occuring. I think this is a great book to read, especially for people interested in the Holocaust.

Summary: Incredible
Review: NIGHT, was such an incredible book that I feel every single person should read it. The truth of it is just so real that it gives the reader pain. But it is all good pain, somthing that should never be forgotten. It showed the reader the holocaust in its entirety. It is incredible.

Summary: Beyond Criticism is Right!
Review: Few books will touch you like this one. The only other book I've read that's close to this one in style is "Voices of D-Day". "Night" is not a story told with elegant literary devices. It's an account. Straightforward and unrelenting. I had to read it in one setting because I couldn't put it down. This book deeply taps into the depths of your soul and so horrifically brings you face to face with the deepest questions of human nature and existence.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Wiesel exceptionally places his thoughts and feelings on paper as he details his horrific journey through the Holocaust. He captures the tragedy of the end result of anti-Semitism with his entire book but especially with his description of one experience at Auschwitz. "Not far from us flames were leaping up from a ditch, gigantic flames. They were burning something. A lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load - little children. Babies!" While people say a picture is worth a thousand words, those four sentences paint one powerful picture. Wiesel's book is filled with powerful pictures of horror that make me glad to be born a free American. I believe this should be required reading for every college student or even every high school student.

Summary: Let us never forget
Review: I read Elie Wiesel's novel, "Night", several months ago; so riveting, I finished it in one evening. As a lapsed Jew myself, I nonetheless found the book a tremendous learning experience, one that I will always remember, and will be certain to encourage my own daughter to read it, when she is old enough to appreciate its importance and meaning. Thank you, Mr Wiesel

Summary: Beyond criticism
Review: Somehow I missed out on being assigned this in school, though I remember seeing many of my friends carrying copies around one semester. A recent visit to the U.S. Holocaust Museum prompted me to correct the oversight.One review excerpt on the jacket describes 'Night' as being beyond criticism, which I completely agree with. You just can't apply the normal literary or aesthetic measures to this narrative. It is direct and true and must be read. Mr. Wiesel has performed a great service to humanity in recording his terrible experiences.

Summary: Night
Review: I thought night was a wonderful book. The best holocaust book I have ever read. It was not only a book about the holocaust, but if you look further it is in fact a book about humanity. And how when one's humanity it taken from them, hope is lost and you die. It is also about the bond between human's and how when one can rely on the other, they keep each other's humanity intact and are able to survive. This is such a powerful book! I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Wonderful Novel
Review: This novel was a required text for my college sociology class. I found myself reading this book from cover to cover in an hour. I thought this book had great first person descriptions that painted pictures in my mind. A book for people to read that will change their perspectives on life.
