ottiedot 's review for:
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
by John Boyne
The end of this book felt like a slap to the face. Literally it left me staring horrified at my phone. And I don't mean in a good way.
First of all the basis on which this entire book was built upon is flimsy as heck. I can only suspend disbelief so much, and the fact that I was supposed to believe that a son of high ranking military official grew till he was nine years old without ONCE hearing the word Jew eVER....
It disgusts me if that is the sort of intelligence the author thinks children have.
And come on! Shmuel is nine years old, he should've known that it's a concentration camp even if Bruno didn't.
Bruno mishearing Fuhrer and Auschwitz despite seeing them WRITTEN DOWN... are we sure this kid is actually german?
The British humour in this felt out of place and idk I didn't enjoy this book as much as I would have liked to. Relative fame=/=Good book is what I've learnt today.
