The book is only like 120 small pages -- read it! Having cliff notes to something like this is stupid -- a) because it is so short to begin with and b) from a practical point of view, anything that you are going to be asked to write based on this book is going to be rather emotional, or at least intense, as the subject is, and getting the facts and dates without FEELING it is not going to help you write a decent essay anyway. You would be lucky to get a D on an essay on this book written on the basis of these notes!

OK, 72 pages of cliff notes for a 144 page book? That is absurd! Night is a classic work, filled with vivid metaphor and intensely emotional characters. You could get a third of the way through it in the time it would take to BUY the cliff notes.

Glad I didn't have to read the book. I hate having to think. I mean, on the topic of "night", imagine looking at the stars and having to imagine all those shapes for yourself? But then you can just get a book of the constellations and all the dots are connected. That's good. But who cares anyway? I'd rather stay inside. And the same with books. But then you have to pass your courses. So this was worth the money.
And I could read it on my computer. It'll be even more convenient when I can get it on my Blackberry. I mean, big fat monitors are as passe as email. But I don't want to be a whiner. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-07 07:27:16 EST)

Forget this Cliff Notes crap! Just read Night. It's a great book and it won't even take you long to read. I wish I could give this Cliff Note book zero stars.

For Eliezer and his family, night was a nightmare. His family was Jewish and they had currently been taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp, for many, they were taken to their death. In the book Night , Elie wiesel tells his childhood story, through Eliezer about being taken to the concentration camp, and suffering in the worst ways possible. The book shows great detail and It used imagery througout the whole thing! I felt like I was taken in to the book and became a victim, I could picture them starving in the trains. For eliezer his problem was wanting to live. He was to young to die. The theme in this book is to never give up and always have faith I give this book five stars and I would recommend it to anybody

I am a teacher who always* uses Cliff's Notes if they are available. NOT because I don't want to read the book but because they help me understand the book. Cliff's Notes provide an analysis of the book, such as metaphors and illusions. Don't assume that people who buy Cliff's Notes are too lazy to read the book.

I am truly horrified that people actually read the cliff notes to this book. It is a wonderful yet truthfully sad story about Elie Wiesel's experience during the Holocaust, and the fact that someone would be ignorant enough to read the cliff notes is truly disappointing. This novel is a true story about an event in history where 12,000,000 people (6,000,000 of them Jewish)were tortured and murdered by the Nazi's. In order for history to not repeat itself, it is important for people to read the stories about these incredible people who survived the Holocaust. Please do not cheat yourself of this experience. It is well worth it in order to ensure that no one will ever forget this part of history

Three new additions to Harold Bloom's 'Modern Critical Interpretations' ($36.95 each) series will reach high school into college levels, compiling critical articles from a variety of sources and offering the in-depth analysis students will need to assist on detailed reports of an author's single work. Joseph Heller's Catch 22 (0-7910-5927-8) provides articles which examine how the sane can survive under insane wartime circumstances; Elie Wiesel's Night (5924-3) gathers critical writings on his story of life in a Nazi concentration camp, and the focus on Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings (5665-1) considers the contents and impact of the three-volume epic fantasy. All include essays by notable critics who offer different interpretations and focus perfect for classroom discussion or essay pursuit.
