What I Did Like:
+Informative even for someone (like me) who is familiar with the time period and the story, it’s delivered in a way that is still interesting. Plus, there were things I didn’t know.
+Yes, the focus is on who betrayed Anne and the others in the Annex. But the book also goes into heavy detail on others who were given up and why. It’s a shocking reminder of how many people had to hide and how many were betrayed.
+Care and attention is paid to the people mentioned. If possible, they are called by their real names and true stories are given. It’s a constant reminder that these are real people and real stories, shocking as that may be.
Who Should Read This One:
-Historian or nonfiction fans who enjoy well researched WWII texts. This is incredibly well done and careful in its attention to detail.
-Special note for teachers: this one is packed with details and is heavy on the names, making it harder to wade through. HOWEVER, it's rare we get a detailed nonfiction text with a modern release date and voice. Therefore, I'd recommend using PASSAGES from this one or sections of the AUDIOBOOK for your units.
My Rating: 4 Stars
If you’re a nonfiction fan, this one is highly recommended.

It was interesting to learn more about Anne frank and the different actors involved but I really didn’t like the tone of the narrator and how she told the story. Also there wasn’t really a conclusion so it felt kind of pointless

I wish I would be able to rate this book higher but I found it to be a really slow read even though for me it was so interesting.
