Summary: A powerful book of the inevitable...
Review: I'm making this review short and simple. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is a horrifying book based on the author's survival of the Holocaust. The book explains the terrible conditions of the concentration camp at Aushwitz and how his family and millions of other Jews died scarcely by the Germans during the terrible time. The book is absolutely astounding! A must-read for any great literary fanatic!

Summary: JEWS, LISTEN TO ME... IT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU
Review: ***** FIVE STARS *****I was in my elementary school, back in the Philippines, when we were asked the question: how many Filipino Nobel Prize winner can you name? I went home, consulted my parent, then the encyclopedia for an answer. I can't name one. Then I remembered someone telling me that Corazon Aquino was named woman of the year by "a" magazine back in 1986. She was, of course, the Joan of Arc of the country, and I thought to myself, maybe she was also named a Nobel Peace Prize winner... back in 1986. She wasn't. It was Elie Wiesel. So before learning the names Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King or the Dalai Lama (the celebrities of the Nobel Peace Prize), I am proud to say that, oddly, the first person that I can name who won the prize... was Weisel. But then, I thought, before, Aquino was more deserving of the prize. I, honestly, "hated" the name Elie Wiesel. After reading his book NIGHT, however, my impression of him changed. NIGHT is Elie Wiesel's record of "his" childhood in the death camps of Aushwitch and Buchenwald. Like THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, the first English book (written by a non-Filipino) I've read, Wiesel's is as powerful and thought-provoking. This is an inspirational, spiritual book. A meditation of what is and what should or could be. Now, more than ever, do we need a book like NIGHT. A guide and a reminder that wo/mankind is powerful, yet terrifying. To remind as that there once was Auschwitz and Buchenwald... and two world wars. NIGHT, also, and more importantly, is a book that loudly asks "what is the essence of being a human?"

Summary: One of the better books in school
Review: I remember reading this a few years ago. It is a pretty great story. The author doesn't drag it out too long. Basically a story about concentration camp prisoners in WWII. Everyone should know about that though. About the holocaust. The thing that is great about this story is it is interesting. Elie does a really good job of making you feel sorry for them, but doesn't make it too tragic. He also writes the story and doesn't try to add fluff. 5 stars.

Summary: Very Well Written - But a Profound Tragedy
Review: Wiesel wrote a timely classic depicting the plight of his family, and European Jewry at large, during the Holocaust. It is extremely well-written, but very sad.

Summary: The consequences of ignorance about evil
Review: Elie Wiesel's account of his nightmarish 15th year of his life is a very powerful, moving story. The forward itself is enough to put provoking thoughts into one's head. Here in this novel, a young male adolescent's mind is put to the ultimate test; faith under fire from one of the greatest evils in American history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it was not a walk in the park to read, it was enjoyable because it moved you. At one point in the book, one gets so caught up in the blunt wording that only a child could use; a child that has not gone through life's trials to know the proper balance of honesty and sensitivity. Sometimes, this book brings you to your knees as the burning truth comes forth; evil is very prevalent in the world, and more importantly, evil was rampant and real in this history of the world. This book is so unique in the fact that it gives glimpses, as noted in the foreward, to the mindsets of the people. The ignorance and the missed chances to live resonate completely throughout the book, giving off the sense to the reader, "if only..." As the book progresses, you get the shredded ray of light that promises hope. And it does end with good tidings, but this book is so awesome because it does not concern itself with physical hope but with mental, emotional, and spiritual hope. And at the end, there is none. The Holocaust has taken its toll too harshly on this young 15 year old boy. The damages have been done. This book is an excellent read because it reminds us of the evil and how if it is unchecked, it can not only rob the world of life, but of the single thing that is vulnerable, human freedom and happiness. Through the eyes of a 15 year old, "Night" is a gripping book that brings all these things to life.

Summary: Night by Elie Wisel
Review: I think the book Night is a pretty alright book but i wouldnt read it if were reading a book for fun since it is about people getting tortutered during the World War II. It tells about the author and how he was in a concenttration camp with his father and how he survived though the ordeal. This book shouold not be read by a little kid or it will give him a nightmare. It should be better for people that is older nad more mature and not a chilidsh person.

Summary: The "night" sky contains 4 stars
Review: The book Night, by Elie Wiesel is an extremely interesting read. This nonfiction story about Elie Wiesel's childhood is a life-struggling journey through many parts of Germany from the 1930's to the 1940's. This book will draw in the reader on the first page. The descriptions of the concentration camps are uncanny. It's almost as if the reader was really there right next to Wiesel fighting for his life alongside him. The great thing about this book is that it is a short read that can be accomplished within the vicinity of a few days. Elie Wiesel has many people in his story who, for the most part, keep him alive. He meets a young musician his age, and his father who "saves his life" on numerous occasions. By this it means that he will not let his son give up on hoping for life. This is a heart warming, yet a tragic, story of Nazi Germany and a young boys struggle. I would easily consider this book for anyone.
