I dont think the boy in the striped pyjamas film really is as good as the book. It isnt the best book i have ever read but i think the adaptation on the book was rubbish. i didnt like the less descriptive parts. i think the author should have aimed the book at a older audience and therefore been able to use more descriptive techniques. One thing i liked was the indiscriptive cover, this let the mind discover and understand the book. Instead of the mind been biased.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas book was great I read it two times in a row it was so excellent>

The book was about this kid who has a soldier as a father and he lived in Germany and he had to move because his father had to move.

When they move Bruno (the boy) meets a little boy named Shmuel his mum did not want him to know that it was a camp for the Jews so he thought it was a farm where people work so his mum left it at that but Bruno soon meets this little boy named Shmuel and figures out that will it is not a farm where people work will they do work but is not a farm.

Bruno brought his friend food almost everyday and then Shmuel tells him that well he is a Jew and so Bruno very quickly let the fence and went home and the they "played" together almost everyday but then Shmuel's family member can not be found so then Bruno loves to explore so the day Bruno was supposed to move he went to go find Shmuel's papa and then it started to rain and they went into this really dark room and his mum cant find him and they are still in this room thinking that they are there to be protected by the rain but they were put in the gas chamber the Bruno held Shmuel's hand and said you are my best friend forever. They then put the gas in the room with them in it and they died Bruno nor Shmuel came out it was very sad.

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.

I loved The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, first because I love historical fiction books and second because the ending bought tears to my eyes. However, he never told what Lieutenant Kotler did to Pavel. I recommend it to historcial fiction lovers like myself.

We like it so much we want to get the film, it is really good so thank you for asking me those questions. We think it was sad and good at the same time it was weird but wonderful because we just liked it because of every thing and its very secretive and very interesting the author really inspired us with feelings and to know about how they felt and really get in their shoes so really we loved it .ps is their another book the boy in the striped pyjamas coming out ?

No bad points really because it's not a bad book . so if their is another book please don't make that book boring .

John Boyne, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is very good I loved this book and its success and I think that it ends in a disaster and its sad however this is effective to children and give them the meanings and importance of life!

The way you see WWII in a small boys point of view was amazing. Totally gripped me and really insightful in what life was like then not only for adults but from the children's point of view. What was also great about it was that the boy was still being a normal little boy as he did not know what was going on. Incredible, amazing piece of writing both historically and the story line.
