Summary: Night - When the worst occurs
Review: I read this for my English class my senior year of High School, and I have to say that I learned quite a bit more than I already knew about the Holocaust when I read this book. It really taught me a bit, despite how short it was. Wiesel is a wonderful man who has since dedicated his life to humanitarian issues and making sure that we don't forget this tragic part of our history.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Deeply moving!
Review: "Night" is absolutely breath taking and will leave you speechless! You must give it five stars alone knowing that this is a true story and someone actually lived this life. At first, I found the writing style chopping, but before I knew it, I was flying through the pages like it was nothing! It's an incredibly fast read, but it will leave an impression deep within you. If you're learning about the Holocaust, or are interested in this time in history, then read this book! I recommend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A lean and powerful Holocaust narrative
Review: "Night," by Elie Wiesel, has been translated from French by Stella Rodway. The copyright page notes that the book was originally published in French in 1958. The author bio at the end of the book informs us that the Hungarian-born Wiesel was deported to Auschwitz and Buchenwald and eventually received the Nobel Peace Prize.

"Night" is a first-person account of surviving the Nazi Holocaust. The narrative spans the years 1941-45 and recounts the atrocities committed against the European Jews by Hitler's regime. At 109 pages, the narrative is slim, but it is powerful.

Wiesel vividly depicts the dehumanization of concentration camp inmates. He effectively recounts the details of life in the shadow of Hitler; the Holocaust experience is depicted as a nightmarish mix of absurdity and horror. Some key questions raised by the narrative are theological; for example, how can anyone continue to have faith in a deity in light of these horrors?

Wiesel's prose, as translated by Rodway, is stark and grim--very effective for his subject matter. The well-written text leads up to a truly haunting final image. I recommend this book not only to those interested in the Holocaust, but to anyone interested in human cruelty and the human will to survive.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: worth to read
Review: This book is an autobiography of autobiography of Elie Wiesal. He is a Jewish writer who had actually lived through the Holocaust that caused the millions of deaths himself. A millions people's deaths to us people today is just a number; but one person's story of his suffering is a tragedy. After I read this book I gained a better understanding of what the Holocaust really is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A tragic book that must be read
Review: I enjoyed reading this book because it taught me about the Holocaust, which I didn't know much about before. It is a fairly short book that could be read in two days or so. Once I started reading the first chapter or two, I knew it would be a good book. Night is filled with a dark environment and tragic events that makes you want to keep reading because you must learn what happened during the Holocaust. It was interesting and kept me wondering what might happen next. The author did a good job of including intriguing details, which told about how the Jewish people suffered. I would recommend this book to young adults wanting to read a war related non-fiction book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Terrible Memory of the Holocaust
Review: Elie Wiesel's Night is a powerful memior of Elie Wiesel who dramatically recollect his childhood memory of the horrific and gruesome holocaust. His view of the holocaust changed my view of the holocaust forever. The holocaust to some young students is not clear. As you turn through this tragic novel, you will always remember and know the holocaust and its evil effect on the Jews.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My Review On Night
Review: The book Night was a very good novel. It relly goes into detail about what the Jewish people had to go through during that time period.I would recommend this novel to people beause not only is it a interesting book you also learn about what these people went through to survive. Not only do you learn about their lifestyle , you learn about the pain these people were put through everyday.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Seeing it through a different view
Review: I have always been fascinated with the Holocaust and what happened to the Jewish people. Never have I realized the horror from such a perspective as I did when I read this book. I started reading it on a Friday morning, and I finished it that night. It was one of those books that suck you in to its life from the very beginning.
Night is the true story of Elie Wiesel, a Hungarian Jew sent to concentration camp after concentration camp during World War II. It begins by telling a bit about how life was at the beginning, before the Nazis came. Then, slowly, it begins to tell of what it was like day after day, before arriving at the actual camps. It goes on to tell of the mishaps of watching his family die before his own eyes. Page after page, I couldn't stop reading. It is one of those books that catch you off guard when you start shedding tears because you feel as if you should have been able to do something to help.
I recommend this book to people who have a knack for World War II or the Holocaust. It's so extraordinary that I might just read it again, just to hear the story from someone who was there.
