The Boy in the Striped Pajamas – John Boyne

This is a well-written and sensitive book, about a very serious subject.

Initially I found the writing style a little bit simple, but then I noticed the book was actually written for teens, and in then viewing it as such, was able to read the book without distraction.

This is a very good book for young teens to read about the holocaust. Once they have a basic understanding of the facts of the holocaust, this book expertly brings it to heart without being graphic or unnecessarily disturbing.

A good book for teens, but still a worthy read for adults.

This book was made into a movie.
