John Boyne wrote the book quite well with a heartbreaking rendition of true friendship. A fantastic book.

I liked the whole idea of the story but I didn't like the way the little boy, Bruno, died at the end. I don't think this book should be read by under ten year olds.

I liked how Bruno and Shmuel made friends. I liked the plot. I did not like Lieutenant Cotler, he was evil. I thought it was sad at the end. It was sad at the end but the begining was great.

What was also great about it was that the boy was still being a normal little boy as he did not know what was ...

I am an LSA and the children i work with have just finished reading this book. They and i both found it good to read and they were asking questions in general about the way Jewish people were treated, it opened their minds and got them learning and exploring more. It is worth the read.
