This book was really interesting, and it was such a fantastic read. Seeing the world through her eyes was... I don't want to sound like a cliche, but it changes the way you see things. I love how through the heart of it all, Anne Frank shone bright.

This book was a beautifully written book on the life of Anne Frank during World War 2 as she and her family hid. I loved it!

I had to read this in school when I was young, and I remember thinking it was just okay.  I think whenever I had to read something as an assignment it just never seemed all that great.  I also think that being older, I have acquired a bit more life experience and understanding of others along the way, along with a bit more empathy for others.

This was really so much more emotionally impactful to me as an adult.

At the beginning of her diary, Anne Frank seemed much like a normal teenager.  She had relatively insignificant concerns, and wrote about her classmates in a way that most young people would.  Throughout the time she writes in the diary, she becomes more educated, more mature, and more introspective.  She was very intelligent and quite a good writer for her age.  It was really fascinating to read her thoughts and feelings, and quite sad when it was over, knowing what happened to her afterwards.
