rovaniemi 's review for:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
by John Boyne
I grew up with this book; the first novel I’ve ever read about the holocaust. I reread it again, and again, and again, and it has clearly come to me that, with all other books and articles I’ve read and videos watched about it, it’s very unrealistic and inaccurate.
There’s no thrill; maybe because there shouldn’t be or because it’s something Im used to books having, but how wouldnt a guard notice Bruno? People or children in the concentration camps are forced to work all day and are kept an eye out to make sure they are; they would have caught Shmuel by now and interrogated Bruno. Again, on the last scenes, they would have heard a sound of someone coming in and the shuffle of clothes changing nearby.
I don’t understand why the dad decided to bring the entire family with them, if most generals during Nazi Germany left their families in the big cities. Children aren’t supposed to watch forced labor and killing; both Bruno and her sister being the children here.
Yes, it is “fiction” not supposed to be accurate, but if it’s not accurate enough, then everything’s a misunderstanding and it’s misinforming the readers about what might’ve actually happened during the actual event. I don’t like the book as I grew up to be more critical about it what im reading.
