This was so much more heart-breaking than the movie. Really enjoyed it and really made me reflect.
Well that was abrupt.
In my opinion, this was far from being the greatest book. (Okay, it's close to being one of the worst that I've read.) Like it was so unrealistic and not historically accurate, and while in the Author's Note the author does say Bruno is supposed to be somewhat naive, it's a little (er, a lot) over the top.
Definitely not going to recommend this book to anyone. If you have to know the story, watch the movie or something. Or read a synopsis somewhere. Seriously.

it really strikes me how we as people could make a whole literary genre out of such a tragedy - not only that, but we make it "inspiring", cute and historically inaccurate. i am giving 2 stars instead of 1 because of the ending.

The strength of this book is that the reader knows what's happening, but nine-year-old Bruno does not. It can also cause irritation, causing you to shout out loud: 'Really Bruno, are you that ignorant?' I cannot imagine something like that what happened at the end really happening, but who knows. You shouldn't expect something in-dept, it's all written from the viewpoint of Bruno, the nine-year-old.
Creo que si no hubiera sabido como termina, tal vez hubiera encontrado el encanto en este libro
I am not sure I will ever emotionally recover from this book. I feel I have been avoiding it for years and today a light bulb went off in my head that said how do I want to ruin my day? This book is amazing but I don't know if I should tell everyone to read it or tell people not to. I am happy I read it but having that emotional breakdown at work probably wasn't the best choice in my life.
emotional
sad
Una historia cuyo final se adivina hacia la mitad de la novela, sumamente previsible y sensiblero. El tono seudoinfantil está conseguido, pero no creo que pase a la historia...
Æææh denne boken var helt fantastisk! Jeg var veldig usikker når jeg startet på boken, med tanke på at Historical Fiction ikke er det jeg leser mest av. Likevel var dette en av de beste bøkene jeg noen gang har lest, og jeg er nokså sikker på at jeg kommer til å gråte meg i søvn når jeg har skrevet ferdig denne anmeldelsen.
Favorittboken min er The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Noe av det jeg likte best med den var hvor naiv og uskyldig hovedpersonen var. Selv om disse to bøkene selvfølgelig ikke kan sammenlignes, føler jeg at Bruno har noe av det samme. Det å lese om en historie jeg allerede kan, sett fra en uforstående, naiv 9åring sitt syn gjorde hele boken magisk.❤
