Summary: A "Night" To Remember
Review: I really enjoyed reading the book, Night. The book was interesting from beginning to end, and it kept me in suspense. The detail of the book was astounding. There wasn't much about the book that i didn't like about Night. The book was very well written so there is truly nothing I would change about it. Elie wrote this book so he could tell his of his experiences during the Holocaust and to straighten the mindset of those with false stories. The most memorable part of the book for me was when a boy had to push his living father into the furnace where bodies were cremated.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: I liked this book, because it was a true story of one's experience as a Jew during WWII, unlike the other silly books I have read in English during my high school career. Before I read the book I had high expectations, because of what I had heard; it was good, but it didn't meet the expectations I had. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. I wouldn't really change anything since it is a man's real life experiences. Elie's purpose for writing the book, is too inform others of what is was really like in concentration camps, etc. The most memorable part for me was just hearing of all the struggle's Elie made it through. Another memorable part was the part about the young boy that was hanged.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night
Review: 1. The book did a really nice job of explaining in detail how horrible the torture was for the Jews all throughout the Holocaust. I enjoyed how Elie did not hold anything back in his novel, and was very descriptive.
2. I thought at some points he dragged out some ideas that he was trying to get at that never meant anything later on in the novel.
3. I doubt I would want to change anything about the book.
4. Elie published this book because at the time there were a lot of people who doubted the torture camps and concentration camps, and so he wrote it because he survived the horrible death camps and he wanted everyone to read about them and know the truth.
5. The most memorable part was when they were leaving the ghetto and Elie's family was split apart. I can't imagine being split from my family, especially in a time of war and when I wouldn't know what was going to happen to any of us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night Review by Jamie Shrodes
Review: I liked the book Night because it gave great detail about what happened during the Holocaust from someone's point of view that actually experienced it firsthand. The only thing I disliked about the book was that there were some things that may have seemed a little outstretched. I wouldn't change anything about the book though. Elie's main purpose for writing this book was to teach people about what he experienced, and also there are people that do not believe the Holocaust ever happened, so he tried to prove a point that it really did happen.The part of the book I remember the best is the part where they hung the boy and ahd to look in his eyes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: I liked how the book was an autobiography about the Holocaust. When you read the book, you really begin to understand what actually happened in the concentration camps. I did not like how all of the people were treated and killed for no reason, but that had to stay in the book because its true that those things really happened. I thought the book was well-written and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Elie's purpose for publishing this book is to make people all around the world aware of what really happened at the concentration camps. Many people do not understand the magnitude of what happened and how many lives were lost. My most memorable part in the book was when they used a rusty spoon to dig out gold crowns. -Nick Shaw

Summary: "Night Review"
Review: This book was an accurate realistic view from an actual Holocaust survivor. Elie went through each agonizing experience of the concentration camp. The only thing I disliked about the book was the way it ended. I would have liked to have known about Elie's mother and sister and what happened to him after he was freed with no family if that was the case. I would'nt change anything about the book. I think that Elie published this book to give people a first hand description of what the Holocaust was about. The part of the book that was most memorable to me was when Elie and his father finally made it to the camp after the 42 mile run and Elie's father started to die. After all that he had been through to give up at the very end, that was sad. This was a very good book and I would definitly recommend it to anyone who wants read a nonfiction novel about the Holocaust.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night Review
Review: Eddie Fiscus
I liked the way they described the graphic details, because it gives you a sense of what went on there. I did not like that his dad made it all that time just to die right before they were liberated. I would probably leave it the way it was. I think Elie published this book so people could have a better understanding of what happened at these concentration camps. The part I remember the most is when the little boy is hung but he does not die right away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Holcaust Book
Review: I liked this book because it shows the reality of violence and hate and how it affects people. There was nothing in this book that I really disliked, or anything that I would change. Elie's purpose for writing this book is to tell the world his story from the Holocaust, and open people's to the suffering that went on. The most memorable part for me was when Elie's father died, and because of all the pain he went through he had no more tears to cry. This is an excellent book that everyone should read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I liked how the book gave detail on what happen at the concentration camps. I didn't like that the book didn't have more things about what happen to people that died in the book. There is nothing i would really change in this book. His purpose for writing the book is to prove to people that the Holocaust really did happen. The most memorable part is when Elie was freed at the end of the book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Night Turns to Day
Review: I liked how Elie Wiesel told his true life story in his own book. I didn't like his story as much compared to what I saw in the movie Schindler's List. This book just wasn't as interesting as the movie. I wouldn't change anything about this book considering Elie actually lived through this. It's his story. Elie's purpose for publishing this book is to prove how horrible the holocaust really was. My most memorable part of Night was when Elie's father died. Elie did not cry. He had no more tears.
