It almost feels inappropriate to give this book a rating; particularly with the simple "Anne's Diary Ends Here" denoting her family being captured by the Gestapo and her subsequent tragic death, but it is simply phenomenal. Frank is obviously not a professional writer, and hence there are stylistic issues I'd be more critical of if she was, but she has a vivacity that still shines through even when she is ranting about the other occupiers. Deducting a .25 star for the editing out of her bicuriosity, as it could've been such a useful resource for modern day people, seeing such a famous teenager experiencing the same as them. A must read for anyone.

It’s a must read for all of us. I’ve felt broken after finishing it, which I didn’t expect going in. The diary is so well written, it is as if you’re looking at the world through her eyes. It’s a miracle we have an opportunity to read it. Let’s remind ourselves what atrocities humans can do if we let ourselves be heartless and discriminative.
