Rating:  Summary: After reading this book i got interested in the Holocaust. Review: While i was reading the book i could never and i still don't reconcile how people can allow other people to kill off most of a race. What did the Jews' do to deserve this done to them? i am glad, and maybe i shouldn't be but i am glad that i live in this day in age. apart of me feels guilty. and why. i have no idea. i liked the way mr. wiesel describes every thing that happend. he sure did know how to get the reader to picture what he was describing in the book. i think and hope that even though he lost his family, that mr. wiesel is happy to have survived and now he has gotten his revenge. all of the many that died, will now, even though they are dead,thank mr.wiesel for proclaiming and sticking to their revenge.
Rating:  Summary: A moving and thought provoking story Review: I have read many holocoast books, but Night definately stood out above all the rest. It is touching and thought-provoking. It asks one to question a G-d who would let such a tragedy occur. It also explores the father son relationship in depth.
Rating:  Summary: Not for the faint of heart Review: The most disturbing book I've ever read but possibly one of the most important. Wiesel has given the world the gift of his own experiences, as hard as that must have been to do. There is a horrific scene of a young man pouncing on and in animal fashion killing his own father for a small scrap of bread. Scenes like that, told in the simple yet descriptive language of "Night," only serve to make us realize that it is only with that type of horror should we remember the Holocaust, because only then can we prevent it from happening again. Hard to digest but so worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: A emotional look at the holocost Review: Night goes over the same aspects of the Holocost we all have come to know after years of being retaught the information throughout grammar and high school. Perhaps it was the origonator of these cliches but I see it as being a little to "standard" and not very full of new information. One new thing that it does bring up and carries throughout, is the subject of god and what changes the Jews' faith goes through as they are exposed to the horrors of the holocost. I think this adds alot to a book full of gruesome discriptions and shocking first hand accounts, that only do that; shock you. Night is writen to appeal to you on an emotional level and gives a superficial overview of the holocost, while leaving much of the hum-drum and polotics of the holocost behind. Weisel's situation in the holocost was typical thus, if you can call it that, so was his story.
Rating:  Summary: Tragic but Captivating! Review: I'm a senior in high school and have just finished reading Night for our Historical Literature class. This has been the second time that I have read this book however, I feel that reading this book for a second time proved much more valuable. The first time that I read this was in 8th grade. It was the second time through that I was able to realize the capacity of evil and the destruction of lives that occurred during this tragic time in society. The Holocaust was an event in the world that caused great despair but the book allowed me, through Elie's thoughts, to step into his shoes and feel the roller coaster ride of emotions that were experienced. Night was a great book and I would reccommend it to anyone who would like a real life account of what it felt like to be living in a time of extreme hatred.
Rating:  Summary: This book will not disapoint you. Review: This book will almost draw you into the apocalypse. Elie Wiesel amazes me with his ability to remember the tragedies that occured in his life with such fine details. My name is Francisco Lopez and I'm a high school student. I've never really been into reading too much, so I'm not really the best critic there is, but this book had me to the point were I couldn't put it down. Definatley a book that you learn from, and it's also entertaining in a way to learn how things really went on in the concentration camps first hand from some one who was there and experienced the hardships of the German injustice. Really worth reading!
Rating:  Summary: Good book for older audience. Review: Wiesel's Night is a strong real life story from the Holocaust. It is a good read for an older audience.The book is very sad and touching. Since it is easy read it can be understood by all. The death and destruction of the Holocaust can be seen from this book the reader will gain an understanding of the time.
Rating:  Summary: A sad and moving book about the horrors of the Holocaust. Review: Night by Elie Wiesel is a very moving novel explaining what the victims of the Holocaust had to endure, written in autobiographical form. This book lets you feel the pains that Elie and others in his situation had to suffer. From the seperation of his family to the physical hardships in his time while at the concentration camps. Keep the tissue box handy, because if books sometimes make you cry, this one DEFINATELY will, from beginning to end.
Rating:  Summary: I think Night was and Amazing Book. Review: As I read this book, I could feel Elie's feelings because of the depth of detail, Elie Wiesel went into. I thought this book had a lot ofsymbolism of what he thought of his god and his father and family. Overall I found Night Exilerating!
Rating:  Summary: Exciting, thrilling, detailed Review: I don't usually take interest in biographies and stuff like that. But while ready Night I found my self getting into the book more and more. I would recomend this book to anyone espicialy those who like histore
