The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas



This book was very interesting, it informed me about a childs perspective of world war II and the holocaust. It was completely different from the film and what i imagined it to be like. It was a very moving book and at places (mostly the end) i was brought to tears.


Charaters..

Bruno - small german boy (main character)

Mum- naiive

Dad- army officer

sister-bruno's sister

shamule- small jewish boy (another main charater)

maria - the house maid


The mother is my favourite character because she is very niiave and she doesnt know about the holocaust and she believes her husband is doing the right thing for his country and family. "aryian race"

I really enjoyed this book because it was hard hitting and very emotional.


i would rate this book a 4/5

it was really good

  2. Em I really like the design of your blog and youve summarised the plot well. I think however it would be a lot better if you wrote more about what you think compared to the amount you wrote about the plot :')
