5.0 out of 5 stars Cliff's Notes are not just for dummies!, November 8, 2002

This review is from: Wiesel's Night (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skip Cliff's Notes-READ THE BOOK, February 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wiesel's Night (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

***** (5 STARS) For the Book Night (Not the Cliffs Notes). It's a true account of a 15 year old boy's experience in the concentration camps run by the Nazis. I first read this book as an aide in a 10th grade literature class a few years ago. Researching the Holocaust has become a big part of my life. Night is an extremely moving piece of writing. ALL teenagers should read it.
