Summary: A Truly Amazing Book
Review: Night is the story of Elie Wiesel and what happened to him during the Holocaust. Well-written and explained. It a story that tells us that we must never allow a terrible thing like the Holocaust to happen again. After you read this book, you will truly know what happened to millions of people and how it affected their lives. An all-around excellent book that should be read by all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true autobiography
Review: This book is NOT a novel as Amazon implies. This is a true account of the life of Elie Weisel in the concentration camps. Weisel waited ten years to write it because he thought nobody would believe his account. See the excellent article on Weisel which appears in Biography magazine in the September 1999 issue. Weisel claims he should not be given the honored title of a "tzaddik," or righteous person. But I think living through hell on earth gives you the right to be honored with the title, not because he lived through it, but because he made something positive out of his experience. Fighting against hate makes him a "tzaddik." Thank you Dr. Weisel. I plan to include "Night" in our Lutheran Church Library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everyone shold read it at some time in their life.
Review: I thought NIGHT was an amazing book. I am very interested in the Holocaust, and I am always ready to learn more about it. NIGHT really helped me to realize the suffering and pain that went on. Wiesel did an excellent job telling the story to where you felt like you knew the characters. I couldn't help but cry through the entire book, and anyone with a heart would. I recommend NIGHT to all readers interested in the World War experiences.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I'm a 12 year old girl from Ny. I have read lots of books on the Holocast, but not one of them compares to Night. My brother who is 16 had to read it for school. He told me to read it and I'm glad I did. I cryed until there were no more tears. Please read this book, you won't regrett it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Chilling account of the camps in Nazi Germany
Review: Night is a very discriptive book about one of the hardest times in mankind. All he has to hold on to is his father, but he realizes that he must let go of everything to survive, but he can't let go of his own father, who is all he has left.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A part of this book will always stay with me
Review: This book was amazing. I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than an hour and a half - although i have certainly not stopped thinking about it. It was one of the few books that made me cry so far in my life. This book is above critism, it speaks directly from the Wiesel's heart. I was too imersed in all the events to notice any flaws in writing style - which some of you had mentioned. Only thing that bothered me was this was for an assignment for school. So part of me had to be objective..keeping some attention on any similarities of this book and Lord of the Flies. I wish that I didn't have to worry about that..and could have devoted 100% of myself to the story. By the way ~ if anyone sees any similarites between the 2 novels..please feel free to email me :) ~thanks Nat

Summary: Reality overpassed fantasy...
Review: Ellie Wiesel's Night, describes with short, powerful words hell itself. He was only fifteen years old when night covered his life and took him in its profound inners. Every page has many different messages and confessions that make the reader see through Ellie's eyes death in all senses. His God died, his mother and little sister were turned into ashes and his father was a martyr until death.

Night is a book that can't be compared. The entire euphony of the words left me simmering; I can't even imagine the waves of emotions that asfixiated this boy's soul.

The book is a journey through the many varied shades of the night;powerful, honest, no compromises.It is a true literary masterpiece, but what is shocking is the fact that it had to be written. As Whitman once said, war is ninety nine parts diarrhea. Reality overpassed fantasy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Elie Weisel has a way with words
Review: "The well writen book Night makes you feel like you have left your body, this book will change your out look on life."- Lindsay B.Osborne

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL book!!!!
Review: I am 16 years old and I was assigned this book to read for english class, so of course I expected another dull, slow book. BOY, was I wrong. Night was the most touching book I have ever read. All of my friends and I would compare how many tissues we went through after reading certain parts. It is one of my FAVORITE books of all time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Short, but a good book to read on the Holocaust!
Review: Ellie does a good job describing his miserable existance in several concentration camps when he was 15. I was a little dissappointed that he didn't go into more detail, but that would have made the book much longer. This would be a wonderful book for 14 and 15 year-olds!!
