Not a ton of plot and kind of felt like a long run on sentence b/c no chapters and only diary entries, so no good stopping points. Liked how strong and self aware/introspective Anne was though and agree with Louis' assessment that she reminds him of me/I could see the similarity.
Un testimonio juvenil desgarrador acerca de uno de los acontecimientos históricos más sanguinarios jamás ocurridos. Anne en su libro nos confiesa que desea vivir después de la muerte, que desea aportar su granito de arena a la humanidad, y así es, su legado nunca morirá.
This book is beautiful, and it's taught me there's a bright side, even when everything is dark.
I’m not going to rate this book, because I think it’s wrong to rate someone’s diary.
This book was written by Anne Frank when she was in hiding from 1942 to 1944, when she and the others she was hiding with reached a terrible and nightmarish end none of them deserved. This book was filled with Anne’s innermost thoughts, feelings, hopes and ideals, and I could not believe the degree of which I related to her. Her faith in the goodness of people at their core was unexplainably relatable for me. I had pins and needles when I was reading what happened to them after the diary had ended. It was too horrible and chilling for words. I’m sorry I know that was a terrible review, and this book deserves better, but that’s all I can write at the moment.

Anne Frank spoke at lengths on how she never felt “understood” by the people around her, but reading her diary left me speechless as there were so many things I could relate to. Her thoughts, her rebelliousness, her frustrations and obsessions. Although what we went through differs greatly in stakes and intensity, reading her diary entries made it feel like we would have understood each other if we met and had a chat. She is a lovely author and has a great voice, describing things that might have seemed boring with her lens of innocent maturity.
This book was really difficult to read not because it was graphic about the war or had lots of intense emotional moments. It was surprisingly hopeful around the 3/4 mark of the story, when Anne grows through her experiences after time. This book is difficult to read because Anne is thinking about all these complex thoughts and feelings at her age when I’m grappling with the same feelings in my 20s, and knowing that she did not live to further develop herself (as she wished to keep improving) broke my heart. The fact this is happening right now—where we are loosing equally intelligent minds and wonderful diverse points of view of life from very precious lives—is devastating. Shouldn’t we have learned from our history?
My heart goes out to those who feel unsafe in their homes. My heart goes out to those who, like Anne Frank, have to hide themselves.
This book is definitely a must read once in someone’s life.
