   loved it

   This is quite a sad story but still an amazing one. There is a very unexpected and shocking ending and it captures what life was like in world war 2 for an eight year old boy with a German commander for a Dad. I would recommend it for older children and prepare to get very upset!(although it is worth it as it is a unique and heart stopping, emotional story. John Boyne is an amazing author!!!

   I was crying my eyes out at the end. It makes you realise the horrors of war.

   :( This book has made me think about the horrors… I’m glad we live in a world where when we have problems they are only little things unlike in the past where the problems were much for serious.

   A super book Touching and Emotional. It’ll make you think hard about how lucky we are to live in a world that has little conflict in comparison to then.

   Please read it and spread the word of how lucky we are…

   This book will have you in tears. Although it starts of slow,you soon get wrapped up in the story and feel as if you are there. It’s amazing to see the different points of view. The characters and imagery are so believable that it is almost impossible to forget that it is only a book. Definitely 5/5!

   touching and moving story, more for older readers. use insight to discover more about the war and people. my favrouite charecter was either shmuel (the jewish freind of brunos on the other side of the fence) or bruno himself as they are the best of freinds. its got a good moral of don’t mess with things that don’t concern you.
