Summary: If you can break my covenant...Jeremiah 33:20
Review: THUS SAITH THE LORD;If ye can break my covenant with the day, my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season; THEN may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests my ministers. In other words, good luck you rocket scientists, see if you can outdo G-d Himself!!! I Chronicles 17:27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee forever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever-words of King David, second king of Israel. Robert Frost's acquaintance with night surely can't compare with Wiesel's account. If you're not acquainted with Wiesel's Night, then read this book, easily read in one day.

Summary: Night: A Short But Sobering Masterpiece
Review: NIGHT is the true story of what Elie Wiesel went through during the Holocaust, written by the man who, as a teenage boy, witnessed the atrocities first-hand and somehow survived. This is his story; it is also the story of the millions who experienced the horrors of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, by far the biggest and most notorious of its kind. It is a short read (only about 110 pages for the paperback version, which I have had for the past 15 years); however, it tells you pretty much everything you would need to know, at least on a *basic level*, about what happened to ordinary, innocent people in Europe between 1939 and 1945---people whose only crime was to be born in the wrong place, at the wrong time. It is the story of young Eliezer, a studious and faithful Orthodox Jewish boy living in Hungary, who, along with his family and everyone else he knows, is taken by the Nazis and transported to Auschwitz. The horrors that befell him as a victim of the evils of hate and intolerance tried him physically, emotionally and spiritually---causing him to question his faith, and the God in which he had so fervently put his faith. NIGHT offers a harrowing journey through what is still the most misunderstood period in 20th Century world history. It provides no easy answers, but provokes plenty of thought and discussion. It needs to be required reading for all American public school students entering Middle/Intermediate/Junior High School---if only to ensure a basic understanding among the future generations of what the Holocaust was, so that one day, we may all learn to prevent such travesties. Unfortunately, we're not there yet, but one day, God-willing, maybe we will be. MOST RECOMMENDED; AGES 11 & UP

Summary: Wrenching
Review: Elie Wiesel definitely has an agenda, and it doesn't make for entertaining, light-hearted reading. It's all Holocaust material. This one is technically a novel, but it so closely follows the author's concentration camp experiences that it's best to read it as if it's autobiography. Like Wiesel, his main character in Night is a piously religious teenager who, having survived the genocide that obliterated his family, suffers survivor guilt.
There are no easy answers in this hard-to-read book, but it marks Wiesel's first step in his lifelong goal of bearing witness for those who died.

Summary: On my favorites list.
Review: I think I read "NIGHT'at least 3 times. Its the kind of book you put on your bookself forever. Mr.Weisel is truly a remarkable man. His writing style is so deep and you feel you are right there with him. The things he endured in the concentration camps and the loss of his family is truly something that makes you feel your life with its little ups and downs can not compare to his loss and suffering. I truly admire Elie Weisel not only for his courage but for his determination. I recommend this book for anyone over 12. A wonderful read.

Summary: amazing
Review: i understand "NIGHT" and realize that this book is not only good, but the book is definitly an amazing find. it was very graphic, and honestly, i almost got sick reading it, because of the intensity of it all. it's difficult to comprehend the truth of it all because it seems so distant. i just can't believe it all happened.

Summary: A well written experience of the Holocaust
Review: Night is one of those books that needs to be read by all. The book is a first-person account of surviving the (...) Holocaust. With only 109 pages, the book is short but meaningful, saturated with horror. As I was reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's that good. With its horrifying details of life in the Holocaust, it gave me the impression that I was actually there. I felt that I was Elie going through life in the concentration camp. I could feel the misery and despair, the torture everyone went through. To read about the struggle and survival of these innocent people made me realize how fortunate I' am actually having a mattress to sleep on or stuffing my face whenever I please. I never knew that the Jewish community went through such misery. The pain of lost love ones, the pain of your body eating away the flesh until there's nothing left but bones, the mental heartbreak of not feeling worthy in the world; all this touches everyone that read this book. At times, my jaw dropped with disbelief; no way can someone go through such horror, but they did and some lived to tell it. I like this book because it shows how people had a strong will to survive. They didn't allow such mental anguish stop them from living. The book Night was a very emotional novel explaining the horror of the Holocaust. I highly recommend this to everyone because it makes you appreciate the value of life and understand the history of the Holocaust.

Summary: A Rare Find
Review: What is so incredibly fascinating about Elie Wiesel's book "NIGHT" is that even though it is a novel, it reads like an autobiography. Not many writers have ever been able to pull that off. Rikki Lee Travolta's fascinating "MY FRACTURED LIFE" captured it, but few others ever have. For "NIGHT" the canvas is the horror of the Holocaust and Wiesel's narrative character is wracked with nightmares and guilt for having survived the death camps. An amazing literary accomplishment.

Summary: Night
Review: "Night" by Elie Wiesel is a terrifying and tragic account of a young boy's struggle to survive a torturous Nazi death camp during the Holocaust. This penetrating autobiography provokes emotion and reveals a powerful sense of reality. It is extremely well written and reawakens memories of the unforgettable actions Hitler and his Nazi regime took upon the Jewish people of the time(1941-1945). This book is highly recommended for anyone who has the strength of heart to relive these tragic events. A phenomenal piece of writing!

Summary: The Amazing story of a Holocaust surviver.
Review: When I read this book for the first time I couldn't put it down. Night is a story that hits hard on the mind, the soul, and the heart. As a person that has been interested in understanding the Holocaust I believe that this book should be just as important as The Diary of Anne Frank.
Night tells the story of a young man that lived through the death that surronded him. This time in modern human history can only be described as horrible and Elie Wiesel tells his story of survival, a story that all human beings should read as to never allow a tragedy like the holocaust to occur again.
This book lives on in the hearts of those that read it. I have not read this book in nearly 10 years and can still remember the pain I felt for Elie Wiesel and the millions of people that suffered at the hands of the Nazi's.

Summary: A Mind Hunting Tale of the Holocaust
Review: I read this book for my Honors English class last month, this book is a serious read that I had to finish it in one sitting. The authors story is very tragic, he knows how to definatly tell a story while still providing us with an unbiaest discription of life in the concentration camps. Even though this is a very short book, you quickly pick up on the characters personalities, strenghts and weaknesses. By the end of the book when his father dies, you come to realise Night is more than just a book, its a history of millions of people who died because of their beliefs.
