Night

Rating:
Summary: A MUST READ
Review: POWERFUL book about the author's experiences in various concentration camps during WW2. Very descriptive, graphic, tells all about the horrific treatment he, his father and many others endured. What surprised me most about this book is the human qualities of denial (in the beginning), and optimism (throughout imprisonment) these people had, and strong faith, such as debating about whether to fast on holy days, since they are literally starving to death on the few morsals they are given. Night will have an effect on your life, the images the author describes are hard to erase. Made a BIGGER IMPRESSION than DIARY OF ANNE FRANK and SCHINDLER'S LIST. READ NIGHT!!!!!

Summary: a gripping account of one of the worst events in history
Review: Elie Wiesel's NIGHT, is an incredibly realistic account of the experience of the holocaust. Despite criticisms of its gruesome and realistic content, the deeply involved reader may find that the story is not about that at all. Wiesel portrayts the incredibly frightening and emotionally draining experience for what it was, and does not attempt to downplay the event with any sort of "editorial sugar". his account is Raw and we see within Wiesel the human reaction and emotion that the Holocaust provoked in many. His experiences changed him as a person for the rest of his life, and Wiesel allows us to witness this change, and let it change us as well. It is a well written memoir. Wiesel should not only consider himself the "messenger" who retells the event, but a messenger who also lets us in on the personal side and teaches us all a lesson about fatih, fear, strength, and humanity.

Summary: This is a very moving book.
Review: Night is a really great book to read. I've read it twice and I would love to read it again. (Now I'm doing a report on it)The first time I read it made me cry. Reading his book made me feel like I was there, witnessing everything. And I wished I was there to help on whatever. So, if you like to read a lot, or you're interested in the Holocaust, you should read this book. You just learn a lot from this book and what you learn from this book, you'll never forget it.

Summary: Awakening
Review: A good read-- Mr. Wiesel has you there beside him as he goes through a virtual hell on earth. It gives a "bit" of what it must have been like then.

Summary: A Powerful book
Review: In this powerful book the author, Elie Wiesel takes you through his survival of one of histories most horrific events, the Holocaust. He brings to life many of the unthinkable actions of Nazi Germany. In this, he uses such vivid imagery that he makes you feel as if you were right there beside him experiencing it for yourself. This is the most incredible book I have ever read, and it has inspired me to learn more about the Holocaust.

Summary: Emotional roller coaster
Review: I feel this book is the best book I have read, yet. From the cover of the book to the actual reading, I could imagine what Elie went through because of the vivid descriptions. This book has made me want to learn more about the Holocaust. No matter what, you should read this book.

Summary: Horrifying account of reality
Review: The novel Night is more-or-less an autobiography of Wiesel's horrifying experience in a Nazi concentration camp. The book deals with the unbelievable sense of guilt that a young boy feels after surviving the camp when the rest of his family did not. It also deals with the Wiesels loss of faith after being abandond by a God that he trusted in.

Summary: I did not like it
Review: Hi I am thirteen years old and I would not recomend this bookto anybody of my age group. I found it extremely boring. If you want to read a good Holocaust book try Anne Frank or I Have Lived a Thousand Years.(both good books)

Summary: I think Night is the most god-awful book i've ever read
Review: Night, while it is a great historical record, comes over to me as grusome, and sadistic as literature gets. This book was like a brain ulcer reading it, and i realy hated every minute of it. After all, if the haulicaust was such a horrible event, which it was, than why make yourself experience it first hand by reading the most realistic and stomach turning books written about that era. If it's WWII books you're reading, go look at The Diary Of Anne Frank. Do NOT read Night, as it will make you want to touch this book only with rubber gloves.

Summary: A unforgettable tragedy.
Review: This book will not only open your mind but it will open your heart as well. Prepare to cry as you visulize some of the unhuman sites that are put into your head. At times in this book you will find yourself angry, times where you're affraid, times when you feel helpless, and times you feel pain. This book is hard to put down. I read it for the first time a month ago, and I've read it 3 times since. It's simply remarkable.
