Summary: night book
Review: I enjoyed this book because it really kept my interest the entire time. I'm really not much of a reader, but this book was well written and it really put you in the narrators shoes and kept my nose right in the book.I liked the book because it kept my attention. It wasn't action packed but it really was very graphic and painted quite a picture in my head of the holocaust.There really wasn't anything i didn't like about this book exept the fact that it was really sad.I couldn't say I would change any thing from this book, I couldn't do better myself.I think the purpose for Elie writing this book is to share his story and let people khow how it was for the Jews in Europe and what they had to go through.The part I will remember the most is the boy who got hung and didn't die right away and everyone had to look him in the face. Overall, this was quite a good, but very sad book

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In to the Night
Review: The tradgic but true story of Elie Wiesel's experience in the Holocaust is one of the most enlightening stories ever written. I'm not sure if he could have been more honest but he certainly did relay his message. This story awakens you to how the world really is. It pulls the veil out from over your eyes and exposes you to the harsh reality that the world is cruel and can sometimes be unbarable. This story is a documentary on human behavior. It explains how we might react under certain conditions. And how propaganda can change how we might originally react. This book is something that i will remember always. I will carry this information with me from now on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tragedy of the Holocaust
Review: During the Holocaust there was alot of suffering. People died just for the fact that they were Jewish. The German soldiers were trained and told to torture the jews. They killed the jews for no apparent reason. This book was very interesting because, of the different ways that people survived. I like how they don't surgar coat things. They told how it was no matter how volgure it was or discusting. I thought that it was hard to believe that the jews just sit there and let them build fences around their house anyways. Something should have been done about that. They should have rised up and took a stand. If all of them did that then they might not have been in that situation. How could there be so much hate from people. I don't like that. I don't like how the book just came out and said what happened. Just because I feel selfish. I just want to sit there and cry. What would I have done in that situation?? Who knows.. The US should have done something way before they did. Elie's purpoose for this book is to show people like me, who didn't know what had happened the truth. He wanted to let everyone know how fortunate we are. What they went threw and how they got threw it. How the parents were taken away from their kids and how they all just killed them and kept stacking bodies everywhere. How the strong son Katz had to put his fathers body in the furnance.

Summary: Jill's review!
Review: Night by Elie Wiesel was a brilliant tale about a mans experience during the Holocaust. The book gave great detail about everything he suffered and witnessed. At times the book moved slowly but it always regains your interest. If i could change the book in any way I don't think I would, because this is a true tale of a mans experience. And the fact that he lived through it is amazing, let alone wrote a book about his experience. Elie's purpose for publishing the book is to let everyone know what the Jews had to deal with and also to educate people on what really happened. The most memorable part of the book for me was when Elie was in the hospital for his swollen foot, and instead of staying in the hospital for fear for the SS murdering him he left with the camp only to find that the people in the infirmiry were soon after liberated by Americans. Night was at the borderline of four and five stars. I didn't give it five because I didn't like how it ended. The whole book is full of detail except it seems to end abruptly. Hey Mr. Rietman :o)

Summary: Tanya's Review
Review: This was a good book. I only wish I could have learned more about the Holocaust. I learned how awful and horrible the Holocaust really was. It was very sad to hear about the families that died and what all happened in the camps. It was amazing that Elie and his father lived through it together for so long. I liked how discriptive the book was because some books you don't really get the whole out-look on things. It made me interested in it more. I didn't really like how the book ended because I wanted to learn what happened after they were saved by the Americans and what happened to his mother and sisters. I wouldn't change anything about the book. It was about his life so it should be told by him how Elie wanted to. Elie published this book so everyone would know what happened during the holocaust. The most memorable part in the book for me would have to be when the got put on the cattle trains and the lady was screaming about fire and they all ended up beating her just like the SS solders would later beat them, "without passion". I think what the Jews went through was very horrible and no one should ever have to go through that. Why on earth people think they are better then other people is beyond me. To think that one race of people can think they are better then another is outragous. No one should be a loud to make camps that people have to go to so they can die. The Jews were very couragous for having to go through that. It just makes no sense to me that the Americans didn't help them out sooner or even let this happen at all. Maybe when I read the rest of his book I will give it five stars. All and all it was a great book and I am glad I got the chance to read it.

Summary: Night, a long nightmare.
Review: You can't say much about likes in this book because its mostly violence. There is nothing to dislike about this book. It tells a story that people went through not to long ago. This is a part of history. I like the book just the way it is I would not change anything about it. You can never change the past. Elie's purpose for writing this book was to let the people know what really went during the Holocaust. Some say the Holocaust never happened, I wish they would tell that to the millions of people who died or the ones that lived but never got to see their mother, father, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin, or any other family member again. One man led this horrible nightmare. One man killed generations of Jewish families; one man changed the world forever, who says it couldn't happen again.
My most unforgettable moment was the hanging of the young boy. People had to walk pass and watch him die. They could not save him; he could not save his self.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Night
Review: I thought the book was excellant. It helped me understand the Holocaust and what happened during WW2. It goes into great detail of how the jews were treated and how they managed to survive this terrible event.I liked how real the book was and how it was a real life story told by a boy who survived.I didn't dislike anything about the book other than just what the book told me happened that I thought was ethically wrong.I don't think I would change anything about it except make it longer.Ellie's purpose for publishing this book is to let people know what really happened during the Holocaust. I think he wanted people to know the horrors they experienced and how they had to sacrifice everything to survive. The most memorable part of the book was when Katz had to throw his father into the furnace because he was to weak. I don't think i could throw my parents into the furnace. I could not imagine being in that position.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Boring Book
Review: The book The Night was a very boring book, I really didn't like anything about it at all. If I where to be able to add on to the book, I would, because it was to short of a book for me. The chapters were kind of short, if they were to be a little bit longer that would of been better, because it would of made the book longer and better.
I believe Elie's purpose of publishing the book The Night was to let people realize and believe the things that really went on in the 1940's. My most memorable part about the book was that Elie learned to sleep when he was running. I believe that would be kind of an interesting thing to do.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Alright Book
Review: The story Night was a very intersting book; I thought that it was a pretty good book about a boy named Elie who lived in the concentration camp. I liked this book because it is from a person who really had experience the pain of being a camp. There are things that I did not like; some personal reason of mine, when the SSR soliders took babys and used them as target practice. If I can change anything about the book I would add to the end what happen after I was free from the camps. I think Elie purpose for writing the book was to let people know what really happen in the camps and what really went on in some jews head at the time. ...
