A review by josiethompson
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

5.0

I've obviously heard of this book years before I finally decided to read it (and no I have not yet seen the movie either). So I did not know what to expect going into it. But I was very happy with the refreshingly new perspective that came w a world War II novel being told by a 9 year old. It was innocent and sweet and caused you to use those context clues that your teachers in school always honed in on. I loved realizing what things were and knowing what was happening even if he didn't, because he was a sweet and innocent little kid. Innocence is bliss as they say.

Very good, simple book.
