Night

Summary: A Boy's Journey
Review: I am currently using Wiesel's novel in my tenth grade classroom. The Holocaust survivor's account of his struggle to live places a personal touch on a period of history that our youngsters know little about. The novel deals with the complicated themes of death, loss of innocence, loss of faith, and isolation in an understandable way. Survivor testimonies will always be the best way in which to learn about the Holocaust. I recommend this book to any serious reader.

Summary: Danielle's Review
Review: I thought that "Night" was a very educated and interesting look at what happened to the Jews during World War II. I think it showed how hard it was for families to survive during hard times. It could be a lesson for alot of families in todays world. I advise anyone to read this book at some point in their lives.

Summary: Second Time Around
Review: I recently read this book for my Historical Literature class and right of the bat remembered that I had read it before. The book is a elementary to middle school level, and that was about the time I initially read it. The second time around, I was able to grasp the ideas and content of the book I could not catch onto when I was younger. I am now a junior in high school, and have been educated of the holocaust for many years. Night raised my level of awareness for the struggles of the holocaust and helped me to gain an appreciatence for what our elders have endured. The relationship between the father and his son was a pure demonstration of the strength one needed to survive in a concentration camp. If it wasn't for the closeness they held onto, I believe both men would not have survived. I would recommend this book to people who want to be aware of the make-up of our history, told through the struggles of a father and a son's experiences.

I think everyone should read it!

Summary: A Night to Remember
Review: I thought that this novel was brilliantly explicit. Wiesel did not leave out any details from his experience. I loved the fact that this book was done from a child's persective. From cover to cover, it was disturbing throughout. It is very interesting to compare this novel to Roberto Benigni's movie, Life is Beautiful. The excruciating details were possibly too graphic for me. I would prefer a more subdued form of looking at such a serious topic as the Holocaust. Yet, I believe that Wiesel did an extraordinary job of telling it the way it is.

Review: The book was great. There is only a few books you have to read in your life and this is one of them. It is very sad at times. You learn how a father and a son value each other. They look after each other in my opinon that what makes this book so good.

Review: Night was a very creative book. Its detail and characterization was easily defined within the first few chapters. Its graphic material was hard to swallow, but it brought out the holocausts horror and realization. This novel was written well and hopefully everyone can experience this novel.

Summary: Night, By Elie Weisel
Review: The book Night by Elie Weisel is an accurate look into the life of a young jewish boy sent to a concentration camp during WWII. Night gives the reader insight into the horrors and dangers he faced. Although it is very in depth and graphic, it provides a real sense of how life was. Very well written!
