Summary: An Importatnt Story That Could Be Told Better
Review: Night is not a bad book. It is a good book, but it is not that good. The story or plot of the book is fine. It is a story that needs to be told, but I think it could be told better. Mr. Wiesel takes one idea from the beginning of the book and just uses that up through the entire book. You get his whole idea in the first 50+ pages. That makes the rest of his journey through the concentration camps less intristing and insightful, and it dilutes the power of the story. The problem with the book is that Elie Wiesel doesn't expand the ideas he laid out in the beginning. Yes, this is an important story. But it could be told a lot better.

Summary: Unbelieveable!
Review: This is a good book if you are interested to learn more about life in concentration camps under the Nazis. Elie Wiesel gave a thorough account if his life in concentration camp with his father and how the survived the "selection" process - whereby, unfit, invalid, incapable men were chosen to be exterminated. It is very startling as how such cruelty, evilness can exist in this world. Which was why, the author lost his faith in God as he could not believe that God allowed such things to happen to him and his family. The book did not say whether he regain his trust in God but I wish he would.It is important now for us, and our future generation to learn about this "nightmare" and for us to never repeat this tragedy ever. This is a short book but the memory will last a lifetime.

Summary: A Wonderful Memoir, Warning of the Atrosity of Human Nature
Review: I am a ninth grade English teacher and I have recently completed the teaching of this novel to my students, who were enthraled with this book. Wiesel is a courageous man who overcame the bounds and chains that evil placed on him and his will to survive. I don't know how, but he survived mentally and physically. The students had the same passion concerning this book as I. They found it easy to read and understand-some students even finished it within the first few evenings that it was assigned. This is a phenomenal story, one that everyone should experience.

Summary: Welcome to Hell's Sanctuary.
Review: NIGHT by Elie Wiesel has to be the most disturbing autobiography I have ever read. It was only 107 pages, yet with all of the brutality inflicted upon the Jewish community by the Nazis, it just seemed longer. The torture boggled my mind and left me dazed. Mr. Wiesel has my ultimate respect for being able to surive such a tramatic experience. Such conditions would have cracked many strong men, but he was blessed to be able to survive and share his story with the world. His is a spirit of strength and this is a story that will not be forgotten.

Summary: Night is one of the best books I've ever read!!
Review: Night is a great book. It is an interesting (true) story, and the details make it easy to imagine. It is very moving and really upsetting at times, but I still couldn't put it down. I definately suggest that you read it.

Summary: A Journey to Hell and Back
Review: When I recieved this book to read for English class I thought that I would be able to read it easily in one night. I was shocked to find out that I had to move inch by inch, line by line through this stark account to even attempt to comprehend the experiences of this young boy. In sparse, savage prose Elie Wiesel tears out your heart and you watch your idealism about the human race burn in the blood-stained atmosphere of the death camps. If you want to understand life and human nature, read this book.

Summary: Sophomore Reading Book
Review: As a Sophomore at my high school, we had to read this intriguing story! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Elie's experience during this time of hatered. He tells the story so openly and really puts you in the positon to re-think your feelings on the Holocaust situation. At least thats what happened to me. I never really understood what whent on in the concentration camps. I mean yes we all knew that many people were killed, but so brutally, no I never would have thought that a human being could treat another person like this! I would highly recommend this book to teens and older readers. Elie was put through many hardships and now you can have the chance to read about the heartache he under went!!

Summary: Darkest Night
Review: In form like a novella that rises at points to the level of poetry, this book's content comes, however, straight from Hell. A good first book for someone learning about the Holocaust, and also good for scholars of the period to reread occasionally to be reminded of the fundamentals of their subject. Superb.

Summary: Night, an inspiration
Review: As a student in high school, and to read of a teenager experiencing what Elie Wiesel endured is phenomemal. His relationship with his father and God was the key to his survival in the concentration camps. Before the Nazi Hungarians came to his town, he lived for God. In the concentration camps, he lost faith and lived for his dad. But through all of the trials and tribulation he lived to tell about it. Nothing any of us teenagers go through really compares to what Elie Wiesel went through. His will and determination made him a hero in many student's hearts.

Summary: Behind the Barbed Wire
Review: It's hard to imagine something as awful as being a Jew during the holocaust. That's what this book is about. Night, by Elie Wiesel, was a moving story about Wiesel's personal experience of life in a concentration camp. Night had a very interesting plot. Something was always happening in the story, so there were no boring moments. It used such good details that it made you feel more connected to the story, like you were there. "At the place of assembly, surrounded by the electrified barbed wire, thousands of Jews gathered, their faces stricken." Wiesel paints a clear picture of what this scene looked like. The book also had good character development. Wiesel described himself well, without saying directly what he was like. "I continued to devote myself to my studies." Wiesel chose these words rather than just saying that he liked to study. That helped make a better idea of how he was. I think the most important thing about Night is it's meaning. The holocaust is a very sensitive topic but I think it's important for people to know about it and try to understand what these people had to go through. I think that this book shows it better than any other book that I have ever read. This book really made me think about how actual people had to go through this. Sometimes when I was reading, it would seem like fiction and I would all of a sudden realize that everything I was reading was true. Night showed how horrible it was for the millions of people that suffered through the holocaust. It was especially detailed because it was from someone that had been through it all. This made this book even more touching. Night was incredibly powerful to me.
