Summary: Left me thinking about it for days!
Review: This story is amazing and very well told. It made me feel as if I was actually there experiencing everything that happend minute after agonizing minute. This book also toyed with my emotions, leaving me at some points upset and disgusted. This is the best written account of the Holocaust that I have ever read. I would reccomed it highly to any level of reader. Another great book I reccomend that ties in with the Holocaust is entitled "Number the Stars", it is also an amazing and touching story.

Summary: It left me shaken for days
Review: This book should be a required reading for all students. In as plain terms as possible it teaches you about one of the most horrifying events in history, the holocaust. It was so terrifying and realistic I felt as if I was there. At least ten times I had to stop reading because I was crying so hard. Hopefully, if enough people read this book, it will pervent anything even close to this from happening again. Mr. Wiesel, you are a very brave man for being able to put such horrifying events on paper and you are doing a great service to the world. Thank you.

Summary: Takes the Holocaust to a personal level
Review: I could not put this book down. It took the general story that we all know about the Holocaust and made it extremely individual -- such a horrific yet gripping tale told from the point of view of a young person who was obviously changed by what he lived through. I'd call it a must read.

Summary: The most descriptive book about the holacaust I have read
Review: Night is a comprehensive view of the holocaust, it tells in terrifying details the horrors that occurred. Elie Weisel, the author, is also the subject of the selective autobiography. It all begins in a Jewish ghetto, during the beginning of the holocaust. Elie and his family are taken to a concentration camp despite warnings by Mosh the Beadle, a mystic that was taken, and escaped and returned to warn his family and friends. At the first camp Elie and his father are sent to work. Elie and his father are sent to many different camps always worrying if they would be split up or not. Along the way they witness many horrors such as a child being hung before thousands of people and not being heavy enough to die immediately, a man giving up his life for an extra ration of soup, a child leaving his father because his father is weak, and even more. Every horror of the holocaust is told in this sad autobiography. Night is easily one of the best books I have ever read. It was very sad and some of the details used made me sick. The reason I enjoyed it so much is because it was a comprehensive view of the holocaust, not a "Disney version" of it. It allows people to see what really happened, feel their pain, and their hopes. This book is a must read for teenagers and older, but I would not recommend it for children because of the gruesome detail used in describing the German atrocities.

Summary: An exellent book!!!!!
Review: I think this book was an exellent one. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is about a jewish boy who lived sourrounded by absolute pain and horror during his early teenlife. This boy who is the author lived a terrifying account of the Nzi death camp. As you read the book, you feel how this young jewish boy turns into an agonized witness of the death of his family, friends and specially his life: the death of his inocence and the death of his belief in God. He was a normal and happy boy when suddenly he was taken from his home to the Awschwitz concentration camp and later to buchenwold. All his memories of pain and suffering are unforgettably record in NIGHT. Elie fought for his life but nearly at the end, he got to a point where nothing mattered to him anymore because he had already suffered too much. By reading you can learn a lot. I think NIGHT is an exellent book and it has taught me a lot of things. I recomend this book to teens and adults but not to children because it might be too strong for them. It is a very strong book, full of fellings and emotions sometimes you want to cry because you can feel ther pain Elie feels every step he takes during that period of his life.

Summary: A powerful book that will touch people of all ages.
Review: I read this book aloud to my eighth grade English class as part of our World War II unit. I think it would be safe to say that every student was moved by Elie's experience. This is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about the holocaust. This book is especially appropriate for younger readers (13-15 years old) because the author himself was only 14 when he was in the concentration camps.

Summary: It is one of the most descriptive acoounts!!!
Review: NIGHT was one of the most descriptive accounts written down for everyone to read. How the author lived to tell his story is beyond me. everyone who reads the book will cry and might of nightmares because of the details that were within. All in all, the book is one of the best and it should be used in history class across the country to show people what really happen in the Holocaust.

Summary: The most powerful book I've ever read.
Review: This book is pure horror! Genocide has happened before WWII, it has happened after WWII, and it will happen again. This book shows what it's like to be destroyed by your fellow man.

Summary: entrancing
Review: this is the best book I have ever read! Fabulous for anyone who is into the holocaust or just looking for a great book, at 108 pages it flys by. It is a terrible account on a young mans struggle through camps such as Aushwitz, Buna,Buchenwald etc etc etc. It makes a young man view the death of family,friends and his god.
