Summary: short book
Review: this is a really short book. it puts all the hard-core facts without giving too much explanations. it's straight forward, and i didn't like that. but all in all, it has meaning to it.

Summary: Article on the Night
Review: Believe it or not, but the book night is true. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel, is a real story. I didn't like it. It is just not my kind of book. The book is not good at all. I didn't like the autobiography in this book. It was not very interesting. There were a few, but not much. Like when the instructor was mad at Elie. He yelled, "listen to me you bastard." Just look at the bad language (Wiesel, page 56). I also didn't like his mood. He was too much about the nazi and stuff. It got boring after a while. Like "a-7713" (Wiesel, 49) that is my number. Its got no enthusiasm and is depressing.
The setting is just one more of the problems with the piece. It is the same setting through the piece. Some bad guys/good guys, kill all the good guys of the planet. Like when he was getting whipped. The German officer counted "twenty four...twenty-five!" (Wiesel, 55). I could get that all I want on the TV and it would be better. The book Night is a real story. On the Nazi and Jews in world war 2. This book is real egicational about World War 2. Though if some one wants to read something good. Don't read this. I do not recommend this book.

Summary: Glimpse of Hell
Review: Even though I have seen many documentaries, heard witness acounts, etc.. reading his account was the most overwhelming understanding (well actually filtered glimpse) of not only unmitigated hell but the importance of fighting to insure freedom, I have encountered. When I was done reading, I just sat there for about a half hour trying to absorb and/or make some type of sense out of all of it. While I realize the math in the following statement doesn't work perfectly for my point, I think the idea still comes across.. War may be Hell but Hell is Aushwitz, Brikinaue, Dachau...

Summary: Painful to read
Review: "Night" touched me very deeply, since the Holocaust took more than half of my family. Reading some of the reviews on Amazon, it infuriates me when people say the Holocaust never happened. If so, then where are my grandmother's two teenage brothers, her mom, all her cousins? Where are my grandfather's siblings and parents? Did they all vanish into thin air? And those numbers tattooed on my grandmother's arm? Did she request that at a tattoo parlor? Instead of the big family I should have had, I have photo albums filled with pictures of dead people. When reading "Night", in Elie's place I saw all the family members the Nazis took from me. Yes, it is graphic; but it is also real.

Summary: Night
Review: After reading "Hitler's Willing Executioners," I thought I had a feeling for what really happened with the Holocaust. But not until I read "Night," did I really grasp the horror of the pain and suffering that human beings had to endure at the hands of the SS Nazis. It's simply unbelievable what the Nazis did to their fellow human beings. This experience of Elie Wiesel is something you will feel and experience yourself as you read it. Certain places will probably make you cry; it did me.

Summary: Depressing!
Review: Right now I am on a holocaust tirade. I have read several books about the holocaust in the last month or so. I get depressed as I read each one, so why do I continue reading? I'm not sure. Elie Weisel tells a compelling, though provoking story.
As a high school English teacher I would recommend this for a middle school classroom.

Summary: A Question of Faith
Review: This is a moving and sorrow-filled tale of survival under the worst of circumstances. Unfortunaltely, it is a true story and only one a halocaust survivor would be able to tell. This is an important book for all to read. The author shows vividly the daily occurances of his life while imprisoned, and takes the reader through the worst times of his life as he questions his own faith. This book shows that the literal translation of the age-old saying "what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger".

Summary: Night by Elie Wiesel
Review: I think Night is a very good book about the Holocaust. It shows what the Jewish went through like being separate from your family and being sent to concreation camps. The part I got really into the book was when the SS order the Jews to march on the frozen snow. I could actually see what was happening, walking on dead frozen bodies. they were starving to death and also freezing. that was sad and horrible to that to happen to anyone. this book gave more of a understanding of the Holocaust and the Death Marches.

Summary: Remembering....
Review: Night is a memoir, but the author was not a professional writer. That is why this could not receive five stars. The story was compelling enough, but I found it hard to get into it when the writing wasn't powerfull. It could have been better.
