jennellen520 's review for:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
by John Boyne
I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars--my official rating of choice would be 3 1/2. I'd lean more toward 4 if I had felt more of an emotional connection with the characters, but I really didn't. I didn't feel the sadness at the end of the book that I would have expected--I felt like I should be sad, but it just wasn't there. That said, it was a different approach for a novel on that period of history, and the version I read had an interview with the author at the end that was very interesting and had some information on why he took that particular approach. I also liked the author's statement about there not being kids' books and adult books--just BOOKS.
