Review Detail

Cleverly written this book is a great insight into the mind of a child during world war II. Written from the perspective of a young boy, Bruno, the war finally touches his family in a terrible way. His innocence is endearing but ultimately dangerous once he has befriended another boy, whose life has also changed drastically because of the war.

The message from this book is very powerful and although not a happy read, it is still compelling. All the characters in this book serve an important purpose and their relationships with each other drive the story to its fateful end.
