The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
by John Boyne
I finally got around to reading this modern classic and I wasn’t disappointed.
It’s told from the perspective from 9-year-old Bruno so there’s a play on the innocence/ignorance of Bruno as an outsider looking in. Yet it’s not exactly a children’s book.
For those who don’t know, this is an Auschwitz story. We see the duality of Bruno’s life as the commander’s son versus that of 9-year-old Schmuel who is a prisoner at Auschwitz.
