The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is about a 9-year-old boy
called Bruno who moves with his family from Berlin to near a World War II concentration
camp. This is because his father is a Nazi. You hear all Bruno’s thoughts and confusion just
from the way it is written. What I liked about the book is the way such a big change and
move from Berlin is described in Bruno’s mind. Even though he himself doesn’t
know where he is, as he stays there longer and longer, the writer still gets the message
clearly through to the reader where he is and what is happening. I really enjoyed reading
this book and found it very moving and unexpected. I would recommend this book to anyone
who enjoys slowly finding out more after each chapter and doesn’t mind crying
a bit at the end.
