So eyecatching, interesting and thought provoking, literally could not place this book down. Currently she has written the only book that I have read from cover to cover in one sitting, while in Normandy France as well!

A story I strongly believe everyone should read at some point.
I had to keep putting this down just to process how this is real. The emotions Anne shares are real, the arguments, thr tension, the conversations are real. 

Anne wanted to be a writer and share her story with the world. The more people that share and read her diary, the more her dream is reality.

I am glad I read this. I wanted to learn about Anne and her situation. What happened to her was disgusting. Reading her diary, she seemed like an intelligent and loving person. It was hard to get through at times, as she wrote about mundane things a lot. It wasn’t completely what I expected, but I learned a lot. However, I wouldn’t read it again. RIP Anne.

A beautiful, hopeful, heartbreaking account. 

It’s much more than the traumatising history I expected. In some ways it’s a charming coming-of-age story. Hearing the very real trials and tribulations of a ‘normal’ 13-year-old - stuck in a room with a bunch of ’stupid’ adults - can, at times, be very funny and charming.

But it has a menacing countdown throughout, and the final pages were always going to have me in tears.

But it’s as inspiring as it is depressing. Faced by the worst events imaginable, Anne is so wise and forgiving. She writes beautifully about life and love and humanity and hunger and purpose and society and family and friendships. And the Dutch people who support those in the Annexe are a source of great hope for the future.

I hope we’ve learned from this period of history.

Such a sad read, knowing her fate while reading her words about being optimistic about the future. Although it makes me very appreciative of my life even though it may be hard it’s nothing compared to having to be in hiding and fear for my life just because of my beliefs.
