Summary: a real account
Review: this is an amazing book, because the writer is not long-winded or flamboyant. he displays the horrors of those days dreadfully clear, to the people of today. his simple, yet explosive technique is what drove home the reality of this time period. how many people of this age can say they would react to this tradgedy the same way that all those brave souls did? the authors family is strong, and the book shows the strength of spirit in even the "simpliest" of men.

Summary: Heartbreaking view of a bitter reality
Review: what makes Elie Wiesel's "Night" so amazing is NOT that he writes about the Holocaust: plenty of authors have done so not nearly as well. It's the terseness with which he writes, that makes this account so powerful. He writes this account so matter of factly, so unemotionally that one cannot help but feel the numbness that he must have felt while being a prisoner there. One gets the feeling that to be numb there was to survive. It is heartbreakingly truthful without all of the flowery filler that we are so used to in today's writing. Not many books move me to tears. This one did.

Summary: Good Book, well written. Actually a 4.5 but I cant do that.
Review: Reading this book gave me a perspective I previously hadn't had, and answered some questions I had about the Holocaust in general, such as how they managed to do something so horrible to such a large minority. I hadn't previously realized that the Jews had their rights stripped first then were slightly mistreated, leading up to their being badly mistreated and eventually to their murders and the genocide that is now known as the Holocaust. After reading this book I'll never look at the situation from such an uninformed point of view and can more accurately what really happened.
Truly a masterfully crafted book relating a story, albeit with some fictional license, that appealed to both the emotional and intellectual. Emotional in that he told the story in such a way that it made the reader feel for the character, while telling the story in a well written easily readable format.

Summary: Horrificly Excellent
Review: This book was selected as the second book of the One Book, One Chicago series, and I am very pleased it was or I would have missed an amazing reading experience. The book details Elie Wiesel's own story of his life in the concentration camps during World War II. His story piercingly describes the horror and the pain that he fought every day to save his own life. Being separated from his mother and sister as soon as he arrives at the camp, the young Elie develops a deeply intense relationship with his father, a man he was never close too before the horror of the camps began. Wiesel lets you into the struggle of his life, showing the inhumane attrocities committed upon him and the other camp residents. Along the way, Wiesel becomes a man at the tender age of 13, caring for his father and becoming the strong one in the growing relationship. The book is short and powerful. It does not use any showy language and clearly speaks to the point in describing the situations Wiesel endured. This book deserves 5 stars for its clarity and the pure power of his story.

Summary: My review of Night
Review: I read this book because, it was an english assignment and I thought that this book would be boring like all the rest. As I read this book I began to really enjoy this book. I was consumed by the story and there was something that you felt you could connect with. The actual events and that this book deals with is very diturbing and depressing. I believe that this book should be read by all so that mybe this horrible tragedy and terrible injustice agaist a group of people will never happen again. This book brings the evil out of the dark recesses of the human soul and into the light where it can be exposed and seen for what it really is. This book provides just a small glipse to what really happen to the Jews during the Holocaust and should read by all

Summary: Good Book
Review: Night was a very good book. It held my attention and the fact that it was non-fiction made it even more captivating. It gives great detail about the holocaust and brings you a step closer to the expirience. This is a living account of what took place. It has a strong plot with a very good resolution. I liked the ending and the way it resolves. I recomend this book to anyone studying the holocaust or just wanting a good book to read.
