Yeah, that was really depressing. But you gotta think, if you were in the same situation... you'd probably end up feeling that way too.

I pretty much liked all the books we read this year. I probably liked Tale of Two Cities best though.

I finished Night like 3 days before everyone else, so I looked at childhood pictures of Anne Frank.

I would have finished Night before everyone else, but Ms. Coles had us read in class chapter by chapter. If she had let me take it home, I probably would've finished it it one evening...It was only, like, 94 pages long, or something like that.

we read it chapter by chapter too. And OUT LOUD. 10th graders shouldn't need to read out loud! so I just read a head of everybody, tried to pay attention where everyone was if we were playing popcorn.

And then I reread the ending twice because Mrs. Johnson told me that there was caniballism in it but I couldn't find it and then she said nevermind it was a different book.

I liked this book but I was disapointed. The way everyone raves about it I had expected more. Then again, maybe I'm just a cold-hearted freek. I have been told thet. But I thought how close the book brough us to the Holocauste((sp?)) was awesome. I was stunned. I have a bunch of random facts on that era (or whatever you want to call it) but that stuff was so much deeper. And personal. Then I also read Anne Frank's Diary and a book calle Pebble in the pond or something like that. I was on a roll with those type of books.

That's what I thought, too. You can kinda tell that Elie isn't a professional writer, but it was still quite good.

Good but not great. I want to read the unedited version. I read somewhere that the publisher took some part of it out because it was so cruel...
