The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - John Boyne

This is an incredibly moving story about a nine year old boy in world war two, although this isn't a book for nine year old's. The story with touch your heart and make you think, which is a great combination for a book... Many don't want to see the film as it may ruin the book, I know that I don't wish to see the movie anytime soon anyway, if you have already seen the film though I would still recommend reading the book first.* A great book, Boyne has created an amazing story here that deserves to become a classic...
