**** I thought that “Night” by Elie Wiesel was a great story. It was about concentration camps during the rise and fall of Hitler, and one survivor’s story of how he made it through it. The story shows how a young brave boy (16 years old) was able to survive on a few things, including hope. The book also shows the relationship between Germans and Jews and how unequal the Jews were treated. I would defiantly recommend this book to a friend.

I thought that Night by Elie Wiesel was a good book. It was about a teenage boy and his father being captured and taken to concentration camps. This story was good because kids my age and younger can relate to the teenage boy in the story is around our age. I thought that it kinda drags on and gets boring, but would recommend to a friend its an easy read.

**** Night by Elie Wiesel is a really good book I thought because he was around my age. Eliezer was a Jew and he was sent to a concentration camp with his family. After they got to a certain spot his mom and sisters were separated from Eliezer and his dad. They lied about there age and they both got to stay together and went to work on a camp. Eliezer traveled a lot through out the book. They only got mostly bread and soup for there meal. He got really sick and he hurt his foot. The reason I liked this book was because it was easy to read, and it was about the Holocaust. It is really sad to here about what the people had to do when they were in prison.

* -- I thought that Night was not a vary good book. The book is about a young Jewish boy and his father being sent to concentration camps during the Second World War. They are sent to several different camps throughout the war. I thought that there were a few good points in the book but there weren’t enough to keep my attention for long. I do not recommend this book for anyone who is very picky about what books they read.

**** I thought the Night by Elie Wiesel was a great book. It was about a boy named Eliezer and his father going to many different concentration camps. He and his father were treated very unfairly along with all of the other Jews. Sometimes they would be going 3-6 days with out food or water. They would use spoons to grab bites of snow to eat and use for water. During the book Eliezer and his father had to fight through many different things. One thing that I think helped them get as far as they did was hope and most of all each other. I would strongly recommend this book to friends.

****Night by Elie Wiesel
Read this book if you want to read an amazing story of Elie Wiesel's life of growing up as a Jewish teenager during the Nazi rule. The jewish residence in his neighborhood took everything that was happening as unreal, and believed it would'nt happen to them. Shortly after the Nazi's took over their town, and the people were force to the concentration camps. Their everyone was split up from their families, but Elie and his father were lucky and got to stay together. Every day Elie was lucky if he lived. Read to see how hard Elie had to struggle to live, and read to hear what really happened in the concentration camps!

“Night” by Elie Wiesel I thought was a great story. In was about a Jewish family getting sent to a concentration camp and being force to be split up. The story is in the eyes a 15 year old boy who has nothing but his dad trying to just stay alive one day at a time. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an easy book. You can relate to it by putting your self in the kids shoes and thinking about what he must have went through.

I thought that Night By Elie Wiesel was a very interesting book. Night really captures the readers attention and keeps you reading. It was a easy and fast paced book. Elizer and his family were sent away to concentration camps where they were split up and Elizer had to make many decisons about his father. This book was good because you learn of how Hitler tried to take out an entire race. If you like concentration camps and reading about Hitlers rain read this book.

**This book was an ok book. I didn't really follow along that well. It had some boring parts in it. It was about a 12 year old jewish teenage boy named, Eliezer. This book is told from Eliezer's point of view. It's about the Nazi's took over their town and the people were forced to the concentration camps. Eliezer and his father were seperated from his mother and sisters. Read about all the struggles Eliezer and his father had to overcome.

**** I thought that Night was a pretty good book. Night is written by Elie Wiesel who lived through WWII and overall lived through concentration camp to concentration camp. Reading the book from his point of view is scary because in the book Elie doesn't know what is coming, but knowing the history of WWII with the Jews everyone reading it knew what was coming ahead of him. At the beginning of the book he gets seperated from half of his family and is left with his dad. Throughout the book him and his father constantly help eachother out even though they were being thrown into a "every man for himself" way of life. The story kind of drags on, but it was also very factual and informed some good information. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about WWII books.

*** very suspensful book

I just got done reading Night by Elie Wiesel and its a true story about Elie and his Jewish family that are taken from their homes by the German Nazis and forced to work in the concentration camps in Germany. I liked this book because of it being based on a true story and events and also how Elie had the will to live for so long in the camps and his efforts to help his dad along the way made the book very interesting and suspensful. I didn't like how in parts of the book, it would tell you what happens in the end for instance on what happened to Elie's mother and sister.It was also interesting that in the beginning of the concentration camp didn't seem all as bad as everyone said it was just as long you follow the rules but it did get worse later on.

Night Review

**** This book may look short but it contains a very powerful message. This book takes you through many of the tragedies that this real life person had to endure. This man lived through the Holocaust and all the concentration camps. At the time this was taking place he was 16 and when I read it I thought it was more meaningful since he was my age. He lost everything and every one of his family members. The whole story is at every point dramatic and very powerful. I really liked this book a lot because it is a piece of history that really gets my attention. I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys learning about how cruel people were at the time of the Holocaust. This story will most likely always be in my mind when the Holocaust comes on topic.

*** I though that Night was a very good book. Elie Wiesel lived through the Holocaust in a series of different concentration camps. Throughout this time, he watched as everyone he knew and loved was being murdered. This is a very touching story about his fight for survival as well as his struggle to stay with his father. I really liked this book because Wiesel was able to tell people the factual history of his life. It was surreal and not something many people can experience. The only promblem that I had with this book was that, although he continually said that it felt like he was in the camps forever, the book is only 116 pages. I would have liked it to be longer. I highly reccommend this book, but I will also caution you that there are some parts in this book that made me sick to my stomach.

Night was about a boy named Elie Wiesel that was caught up in the concentration camps back in the 1940’s. His family and Elie were taken from their home in Sighet Transylvania along with his siblings of three. Will Elie and his family be able to stay alive at the concentration camps in Auschwitz, or will he be another Jew that was killed?

I thought that this was a great book about the holocaost and history because people should know this stuff and what happened to all those people and how bad they got it just because hitler was greety and lied and said that the jew were the ones that did it so much for a scapegoat. Read it you'll love it

***Night by Elie Wiesel in my opinion was a very good book. It depicts one young boys struggle to overcome famine, oppression and the hardships that he suffered in concentration camps during the rise and fall of WWII. This book overall is not a difficult read and I would recommend it to anyone.

Aubrey J said...

"Night" by Elie Wiesel was a pretty good book. I like to read about World War II. The book was about a boy named Elie and how he and his family were sent to the concentration camps. The book was mainly about how he and his father suffered through out the story and how they overcame situations. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about the war.

I thought that the book Night was really interesting. It portrays a young boys struggle to overcome depression, hunger, and other bad things during the concentration camps from WWII. I thought that this book was pretty good and easy to follow

Night is about a 15 year old named Elie Wiesel who is Jewish and is in concentration camp called Auschwitz. The time period of the book is second part of WWII. Elie is in Auschwitz with his dad. I would recommend this book because it a good book.

Ron Tonuci said...

This was a pretty good book. It is about a young teen named Elie to is a Jew during the Holocaust and stayed at a concentration camp called Auschwitz. Over the course of this time period, he is separated from his mother and sister, and is left with only is dad in a concentration camp in the middle of WWII. This book is very realistic and I would only recommend it for people who are serious readers. This is just only life story out all the thousands of jews who went through different situations during the Holocaust.

I thought 'Night' by Elie Wiesel was a great book. This book was about a teenage boy and how he had to go to a concentration camp with his family. His sister and mother were sent to another area, while his father was the only one he had left. It explains what happened in some of the camps. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what happens in concentration camps.

***The book Night was a very intense and very real. This book was a very heart pounding experience for me. Ellie Wiesel is an amazing writer. He uses his words to make you feel like you are there at the time and day of the story. Night is all about the Jewish community and there struggle with Hitler in World War II. The main character is a teenager who looses everything dear to him. Ellie tells of how the teenager survives through all of the concentration camps and the cold, cold nights. I liked this book a lot. I thought the author did a wonderful job in describing everything that was happening to the kid. Although I thought the book was good, it did have its flaws. The one major flaw that it had was the ending. It didn’t make you want to go out and buy the sequel, if there was one, it just ended to quick for me.

*** The book Night by Elie Wiesel was a good book, there were some really boring parts but the story line was great. The book is set back during the holocaust and its about a boy and his dad that get sent to a concentration camp. They get treated horribly and hardly ever eat. They have many adventures; you’ll have to read it to find out the rest.
