Summary: A Wonderful Book-Impossible to put down
Review: Ellie Wiesel's account of his life in Nazi death camps is a wonderful masterpiece. The young boy'scompassion for his father, his devotion to God, and his quest for survival are what make this book impossible to put down. As an English teacher, I find this book an absolute to any curriculum. The camp descriptions are horrifying. The hanging of the small boy, ghastly. It is hard to believe that 20 years ago the only Holocaust literature taught was Anne Frank. This is definitely an awakening to the real world of the Holocaust.

Summary: It is a must read!
Review: I read NIGHT a few years ago, and it left a deep impression on me. One aspect that I was surprised by was my reaction to the events that happened. I found myself disbelieving what happen, and I was surprised by this reaction. I found the events discribed, so vivid, and truely terrifying, that I just could not bring myself to believe that they actually occured. It took some effort on my part to remind myself that the events discribed in NIGHT, actually did occur. The story of the Holocaust is a story that must be told so that history doesn't repeat itself. Ellie Weisel's book is one of the best, I only took me a day to read. But it has left a deep impression on me.

Summary: Excellent choice for teachers
Review: This book is the best teaching tool I have found for my unit on the Holocaust. Wiesel writes powerfully. Within a few, short pages, my students are hooked. We have excellent discussions about it and the themes presented in it. I highly recommend it to any teacher of any discipline. The writing is not inaccessible to students of lower reading abilities, yet it is challenging enough for students on the other end of the spectrum.

Summary: Good reinactment of what happened
Review: Wiesel tells what happened to him and his family in a very interesting book. I totally disagree with the people who only gave the book 4 or less stars, put yourself in that situation and see if you would write a book as good as this one.

Summary: I love this book!!!
Review: Although sickening at times, this book just describes the scenes in such a manner that I was just awed by how I was able to picture it in my mind. How could anyone try to destroy a whole religion?I don't understand the person from Russia: these things really did happen in the places mentioned. My Granpa, in WWII, liberated Dacau, one of the prision camps for the Jews that was mentioned in "Night". My Grandpa took pictures of the piles of clothing whose owners were put into the furnaces, and the piles of bodies. He gave me those pictures, and I will never be able to wipe away the look on one of the dead men's face. Yes, this really did happen.
