Summary: Night-audio version
Comment: Compelling story read by a very expressive story teller. It was difficult to turn off. Tragic
autobiography of a halocaust survior not suitable for kids.

Summary: A Bit Chilling, but Necessary
Comment: I read "Night" a few years ago and before I finished the book I swore to myself that I would visit
Auschwitz to maybe get a glimpse into what Wiesel witnessed. This summer I was able to take a
guided tour from Krakow in hopes of having some of my questions answered.

That is
what "Night" does to the reader, it leaves him/her with many questions. Most of these questions are
not easy ones. They are questions about fear, human nature, obedience, and the power of
propaganda.

Reading "Night" and then seeing things firsthand really affected me. I
have become more sensitive to others because of Wiesel's story.

The most important
idea that Wiesel imparts in his book is that "there is danger in indifference." Many of us are
everyday witnesses to the horrors of the world and do nothing; we say nothing.

Summary: Insightful and Moving
Comment: Dr. Wiesel's account of his experience of the inhumane extermination of the Jewish people is
profoundly moving. There is an inclusiveness in his description of human suffering that reaches out
to all people. He is not absorbed in self-pity but intensely drawn in to the people of Darfur and
South Africa as in other parts of the world. His faith remains invincible as does his questions
remain disquieting.

Summary: New Hope for Life
Comment: There doesn't need to be any additional praise for this great book. The story covers all of us as a
whole - despair, evil, and goodness. Most of all, resilience for hope.

Summary: Quite possibly the most important Novel i have ever read.
Comment: This novel was beautifully moving and you could feel the heartache of the Author as he wrote what he
had survived. i cried for him and the others that survived and those that didn't. he is quite right
when he says that these atrocities should never be forgotten.
