Ce livre est super triste. J'en suis toute étourdie.
Je ne peux pas faire de critique pour le moment, je suis complètement à l'ouest.

3.5 stars.
Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. But I did appreciate the friendship aspect and the ending got me.

Es un libro complicado, por que en partes me pareció aburrido por lo lento que iba el libro.
Me dio pena la vida de Shmuel, y el final igual te da pena, pero más por la familia que por Bruno.

Ohh by God, a book written from the perspective of a child from a time that few, much less a child, could understand. Yes, it's very sad 😭
