A review by amanda1793
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

5.0

4.5 stars.

This book has shaken me.

This story allows readers to see Nazi Germany through the eyes of a young boy who honestly just wanted a friend. And although his "snobbishness" (at the beginning of the book and tapering out towards the end) is the reason this book lost half the star for me, I did grow to love him. The boy on the other side of the fence allowed the young boy to grow into a more compassionate human.

I recommend this book.
