Summary: my review of night
Review: The book, "Night" was very realistic to World War II. The author used good descriptive writing to where I could almost feel as if I was there, in the story. "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke." The emotions that the characters felt were often able to feel, as being the reader. I would not recommend this book to younger children because they probably wouldn't understand the factual parts and the understanding of war. Also, the book contains extremely sad, gruesome parts, and foul language. "Night" was a good story that showed, how evil and thoughtless people can be, courage, strength, love, sadness, hate, anger, all people have feelings, and to never give up. I think that the message of this book was that you need to fight for what you believe in and don't let anyone stand in your way.

Summary: My review of night
Review: I thought the book Night was a pretty good book, but also made you realize how the holocaust really was. I always knew about Nazi's going after the Jews, but I never knew all the details and what really happened. The book was really sad and it was a depressing story. So many events happened with the main character and almost all of them were bad: first, the German's move in their neighborhood, then the have to leave and go into concentration camps, Jew's families were separated and some burned, then they worked the ones who survived to death. I never thought some people could be so cruel. How they would just shoot them for no good reason and how they fed them next to nothing. I never imagined how bad it really was. I do recommend this book if you like true and historical stories, thats all it is based on. Then to really think all this really happen. Its kind of freaky. There is a lot of detail in the book too. So if you like lots of detail this is a good one. I personaly did kind of like it just, because of the detail and really seeing how much better my life is and how I would never want to be put in that position. Life could be worst like the one in Night.

Summary: by far on of, if not THE best book i have ever read
Review: I am a Teenager, 16 yrs old... I read this book in my English class. before I read it, I have never heard of Elie Wiesel or his story, but I couldn't be happier that I had a chance to read his work. This story opens your eyes. We have all heard stories of death camps, including those of our own families but Nothing i've ever heard touched me like this book has. It is one of the best written literature pieces of all time. I would recomend Everyone going through high school and everyone that hasn't read it yet to read it. unfortunatly people are dying. in 10-20 yrs just about all Holocaust survivors will pass on. WE cannot forget what has happend, literature is the only way to remember this horrible genocide. After reading this book NO one can say any word of denial about the Holocaust because they will see what really went on. If you truly want your eyes opened to the truth you must read this book

Summary: Book Review Saga: Night. reviewed by case parrish.
Review: This book takes us through the experiences of a young boy of fifteen during one of the most horrific and inhuman times in history: the Holocaust. Night follows the story of Elie Weisel as he fights to survive during the imprisonment of the jews in WWII germany. Night graphicly describes the torment and deaths of various people, innocent and guilt-ridden during the imprisonment of the jews, and therefore, I would not reccomend this to younger readers. I would however, highly reccomend this book to other, older readers. Night is, in my oppinion, a stunning journey into one man,s pshyche. A modern day epic, and a tale that will both haunt, you and leave you in awe at just how powerful it is. Elie Weisel has blended the best elements of literature and his own personal experiences to create a book which will, undeniably, have a profound effect on you, and leave you forever changed.

Summary: preety good book
Review: After reading Night by Elie Wiesel, I thought the book was preety good. It taught me about what happened in the concentration camps and how bad life was back then. The book was graphic sometimes but showed the reader how bad it was. The book was interesting throughout and I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good interseting story to read.

Summary: Vivid narrative of a grim story.
Review: "Night" is Elie Wiesel's autobiographical short novel of life and death in a concentration camp. There is little plot and character development. Part of the terrible treatment of Jews by the Nazi thugs is denial of identity. The men become nameless, almost faceless, walking corpses. Each prisoner has their number tattooed into the flesh. Elie is A-7713. Death is postponed by ingesting food rations and remaining silent. As Elie's father lay dying, a tough-minded fellow prisoner admonishes Elie to eat the food he saved. Giving it to the dying man is futile. Elie's first duty is to save his own life by whatever means necessary. Survival transcends family relationships. The cost of survival combined with the death of innocence is the theme. The injustice suffered by the Jews is horribly real, but not a revelation. Enduring Auschwitz and Buchenwald scars the mind forever. Survival does not mean victory. After liberation by the American Army, the daylight of Elie's life changed into perpetual night. Elie loses his faith after he suffers mind-numbing horrors in tandem. Elie rages against the seeming indifference of Heaven. His dedication to the Eternal disappears as the black smoke curls above the ovens of Auschwitz. How can a just God seem to stay idle before such godless acts? This is not light reading, and "Lest we forget" is hardly original. However, as new generations drift frivolously along, a reminder of basic truth is appropriate. Read and ponder. ;-)
