Today i finished reading a very moving book.
Rate - 10/10
Age Rate - 9 and upwards
I read this book only recently on recommendations from someone who doesn't read much, and that was saying something. She said that out of the very few books she had read that this one was one that had made the biggest impression.
As the book is very thin, with big print that matches the Juvenal voice throughout the book. Therefore i read this book within a day. And i was not disappointed. All through the book you are guided by nine year old Bruno. Son of Commandment. Naive of every devastating thing that happens round him. He makes friends with 'The Boy in Stripped Pyjamas'. This friendship leads to a poignant ending. That had me in tears.
The book keeps you young at heart but tells the tale of such an awful time in history. The holocaust. And how a friendship can build and break walls.
I am tearing up with just thinking about it.
With everything i have inside me i advise that you read this book if you have not yet and if you are disappointed then take it up with me. Because i believe that it is so important that we dont forget everything that happened and try to keep such racism from happening again today or in the future. From a small seed grows a powerful oak tree.
Thankyou for reading.
Casper sends love to all literature lovers.
