The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
4.0
“Bruno: We're not supposed to be friends, you and me. We're meant to be enemies. Did you know that? ”
I'm just going to do a small review. The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas was a very simple written, yet very moving book. It tells the story of a nine year old boy called Bruno who is moved out of Berlin into his new home at "Out-With" by the "Fury" who his father works for. Bruno has no idea of what is happening at Auschwitz, he is still living in innocence when he meets a boy from behind the fence in stripped pyjamas. One main problem is that it is historically inaccurate, as Bruno wouldn't be so ignorant especially considering that Bruno would know who the Führer is as his father is a senior Nazi. Despite his ignorance, Bruno is a very likeable and convincing character. It's a very moving story with a inspiring friendship and an unexpected twist at the end and I would definitely recommend.
