Rating:  Summary: A stunnig account Review: Elie Wiesel has consolidated every emotion one must have felt during that dark period of history and some how found a way to put it to paper. I've never been so moved, nor imagine I ever will be again.
Rating:  Summary: It's a great book...it really makes you think. Review: I didn't think I was going to really like this book at first. I'm in High School, and in my Freshman English class we had to read it. I was all prepared to get cliffnotes and stuff---but then I read it, and now It is DEFINITELY one of my favorite books. It really makes you think. It's probably one of the saddest books i've ever read. I never cry when I read books, but in this one, I did.
Rating:  Summary: This is an awesome book to get in touch with jewish hisotry. Review: Over all this book is a touching novel and it is one of a kind. you actually feel for him in the book. It is not a book that should be banned becasue it is the truth you cant deny the truth
Rating:  Summary: Read it in one sit in.. Review: The book is quick to read and gets to the point, but at the same time it is very touching. After reading it you will be pondering about his experience at the concentration camp and the death march for days. A book you won't be able to put down.
Rating:  Summary: Unhumanity of Cultural Clashes during the Holocaust Review: This was a great book. I am a high school student in Dearborn Michigan. When I first started this book I just knew that it was going to be a bore. I didn't want to focus on this book so i put it off but then after i read a little more (the 6th page) I got very interested. I could not put this book down.It really opened my eyes and showed me I should be blessed about who I am and the time period I was born. This book tells how the Jews where mistreated during the Holocaust. The author of this book was a survivor from the Holocaust. I encourage all to read this book to learn more about the Holocaust from a victim of the Holocaust and to learn how the Jews Human Rights were violated. :0)
Rating:  Summary: This book is Elie Wiesel's version the Holacost in WWII! Review: This a great book about the Holocaust. I would recommend it to anybody who likes books on the Holacoust! I loved how the author, Elie Wiesel, gave examples of how life was really in that time period. I think that he wanted people to hear from a survior how the Holacost hurt many inicent lives and people today still feel the affects of that tradgedy. I love how he was always there for his family especially his father! I think that this book should be read by all the kids in highschool. It teaches them how life really was for those people. In conclusion, this book taught me more about the Holacost and Wiesel told me that if this ever happend in America we as a country would see the affects of it. I think after people read this book then they will realize that people today could not handle this kind of treatment!!
Rating:  Summary: Elie wrote night to tell us about the holocaust. Review: night is a horrible book to read. i don't mean horrible in a way that is not good to read, i mean its not suitable for everyone like people who do not like reading about murder and mistreatment about human life. Elie wrote noght to show us how the Jews were mistreated by the german soldiers.
Rating:  Summary: I liked the book a lot Review: I liked the book Night because it explained to me things I never knew about the Holocaust. The story went into detail and while reading the book it almost brought tears to my eyes when I read about the inhumane treatment the Jewish received. I would recommend this book to any who has not read it yet.
Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ Review: POWERFUL book about the author's experiences in various concentration camps during WW2. Very descriptive, graphic, tells all about the horrific treatment he, his father and many others endured. What surprised me most about this book is the human qualities of denial (in the beginning), and optimism (throughout imprisonment) these people had, and strong faith, such as debating about whether to fast on holy days, since they are literally starving to death on the few morsals they are given. Night will have an effect on your life, the images the author describes are hard to erase. Made a BIGGER IMPRESSION than DIARY OF ANNE FRANK and SCHINDLER'S LIST. READ NIGHT!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: a gripping account of one of the worst events in history Review: Elie Wiesel's NIGHT, is an incredibly realistic account of the experience of the holocaust. Despite criticisms of its gruesome and realistic content, the deeply involved reader may find that the story is not about that at all. Wiesel portrayts the incredibly frightening and emotionally draining experience for what it was, and does not attempt to downplay the event with any sort of "editorial sugar". his account is Raw and we see within Wiesel the human reaction and emotion that the Holocaust provoked in many. His experiences changed him as a person for the rest of his life, and Wiesel allows us to witness this change, and let it change us as well. It is a well written memoir. Wiesel should not only consider himself the "messenger" who retells the event, but a messenger who also lets us in on the personal side and teaches us all a lesson about fatih, fear, strength, and humanity.
