The Boy in The Striped Pajamas made me cry. (Spoiler!) The story is absolutely stunning and the author, John Boyne, has made it so realistic it was like a movie running in my head. I also liked the idea that it was from a German boy's perspective. I don't read many books from the German side but it was very interesting, and how the main character, Bruno, is so unaware what his country is doing to the Jewish.
It has an extremely sad and brutal ending, but the book just is so great you don't bawl your eyes out. The ending haunts your mind for at least a week. This book is spectacular, though, and I recommend it to people 12 years and over.
This was only a short review, but I don't want to give the plot away too much if you do read it.
Rating: 4/5 stars!
Zobo!
