 An Entertaining BookJul 26, 2010
Night by Elie Whitney is surely a book that will keep you entertained. The book is about the story of the holocaust a subject the Author Elie Whitney lived first-hand showing the readers the strong feelings she felt, the dreams she longed for, and the Night she'd rather skip.
A truly heartbreaking memoirJul 13, 2010
Night is an absolutely heartbreaking memoir. It short and it is simple. The writing does not flow lyrically and is unembellished. The truth is that none of this matters. The voice of Wiesel....the voice of a man who has suffered loss, pain, and suffering that is incomprehensible to anyone who has not been in his position....makes this book what it is. He writes not only with his own voice, but also with the voices of the millions of other Jewish people who experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. Night is an account of Elie Wiesel's time in the Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. Wiesel writes with a voice that recalls loss in it's most tragic sense...loss of family, loss of humanity, loss of belief. It is hard to describe how I felt when reading this account...because as sad and horrified as I found myself while reading, I still know that what I felt was nothing compared to the sadness of the families that were there. No words really seem to be strong enough or raw enough to describe the book. I feel strongly that this should be required reading for everyone. My reason for feeling this way is the same as Wiesel's reason for writing this memoir. Humanity can never be allowed to forget what happened during that dark hour of the world's history. Allowing the world to forget would be a disrespect to the people involved....those who survived as well as those who were murdered at the hands of the Nazis. We are at a point in time where the number of survivors is dwindling quickly. Wiesel felt that this book was needed so that the world would never forget....because to forget would open the door for something like that to happen again. Night serves as a reminder of the terror that happened during the Holocaust...a reminder of our responsibility to prevent such an event from ever happening again

NightJun 24, 2010
I appreciate the quickness in which I received this order. I purchased it for my daughter's summer reading and wanted to make sure that she had ample time in which to read the book. I was afraid that it was going to take a while to receive, but this was not the case. Thank you very much for great customer service !
 A hungry man is not a free manJun 23, 2010
This book speaks only of the facts, your soul will provide the horror and despair.
Like the Elie your left with the skin and bones of what happened. This book should be required reading all over the world
one of the two or three most perfect books I know ofJun 20, 2010
The best book about the Holocaust I've ever read. It's short, but it will knock you flat. Hard to believe something that's only about 100 pages can pack such a wallop. Worth its weight in gold.
