Summary: Skip Cliff's Notes-READ THE BOOK
Review: ***** (5 STARS) For the Book Night (Not the Cliffs Notes). It's a true account of a 15 year old boy's experience in the concentration camps run by the Nazis. I first read this book as an aide in a 10th grade literature class a few years ago. Researching the Holocaust has become a big part of my life. Night is an extremely moving piece of writing. ALL teenagers should read it.

Summary: OY!
Review: Forget this Cliff Notes crap! Just read Night. It's a great book and it won't even take you long to read. I wish I could give this Cliff Note book zero stars.

Summary: MUST READ
Review: I am a teacher who always* uses Cliff's Notes if they are available. NOT because I don't want to read the book but because they help me understand the book. Cliff's Notes provide an analysis of the book, such as metaphors and illusions. Don't assume that people who buy Cliff's Notes are too lazy to read the book.

Summary: JEWS, LISTEN TO ME... IT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU
Review: JEWS, LISTEN TO ME... IT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU***** FIVE STARS ***** I was in my elementary school, back in the Philippines, when we were asked the question: how many Filipino Nobel Prize winner can you name? I went home, consulted my parent, then the encyclopedia for an answer. I can't name one. Then I remembered someone telling me that Corazon Aquino was named woman of the year by "a" magazine back in 1986. She was, of course, the Joan of Arc of the country, and I thought to myself, maybe she was also named a Nobel Peace Prize winner... back in 1986. She wasn't. It was Elie Wiesel. So before learning the names Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King or the Dalai Lama (the celebrities of the Nobel Peace Prize), I am proud to say that, oddly, the first person that I can name who won the prize... was Weisel. But then, I thought, before, Aquino was more deserving of the prize. I, honestly, "hated" the name Elie Wiesel. After reading his book NIGHT, however, my impression of him changed. NIGHT is Elie Wiesel's record of "his" childhood in the death camps of Aushwitch and Buchenwald. Like THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, the first English book (written by a non-Filipino) I've read, Wiesel's is as powerful and thought-provoking. This is an inspirational, spiritual book. A meditation of what is and what should or could be. Now, more than ever, do we need a book like NIGHT. A guide and a reminder that wo/mankind is powerful, yet terrifying. To remind as that there once was Auschwitz and Buchenwald... and two world wars. And that we are all servants of a higher purpose, for we are humans.

Summary: GREAT BOOK?
Review: Yes, of corse its a great book I had to read it for a school project, it took me 1 day. It's short and easy to get through once you get passed the first chapter. There are alot of details. I think that that is one thing that makes this book great. Another thing that I think makes this book great is just what it is about,the holocoust. Elie is a great author and I'm looking forward to reading another book of his soon. My advice get the book.
