Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryIn Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's memoir Night, a scholarly, pious teenager is wracked with guilt at having survived the horror of the Holocaust and the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died. |

Profound
Rating:
I am not going to review this book traditionally since I believe it far too profound and important for me to comment on the writing and story. This book changed me as a person, and provided me with more knowledge and hope for mankind than I had prior ro reading this. What a brave man, and thank you Mr. Wiesel for sharing your experience and not forgetting.
Night by Elie Wiesel
Rating: 
This audio version does not follow the book that I teach my classes. It said "unabridged" so I assumed that meant nothing was deleted. The story remains the same, so if there was not a book present, it wouldn't make a difference. But, students cannot simply follow along to this version.
A very important book
Rating:
This book shook me to the core. In fact, after reading it, my husband and I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland and learned so much more than what is in history books. This book is absolutely heartbreaking but a very important read.
Great but lost interest
Rating:
It is ok but I lost interest because I the Holocaust was just too close to home for me. I just felt too heavy and in despair at the time dealing family situations. I gave the book to a nearby thrift store for others to read.
I Want More Info!
Rating:
I recently finished reading Night for a school project. This was my second time reading it and I noticed so much more detail this time. While it was a good read, I was wanting more. I wish Elie would have included more about his life. Also, I would have loved to know more about his sisters and other family members. I did some research and found out that Elie was actually reunited with his sisters! You would have never known when reading Night, I thought they had perished in the Holocaust. I also would have liked to know about Elie's life after the Holocaust. What were the long term effects? What does he have to say to the world about his experience? What advice does he have to offer to the world?
