« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: John Boyne
SynopsisThe Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is set during World War II and is about a German family who move house because of the fathers' work as a Nazi Commandant. The youngest child Bruno, goes exploring one day and finds a little boy his age called Shmuel who is a Jew and living in a concentration camp. Bruno doesn't know what a concentration camp is but he decides that he wants to live there with Shmuel. So the two of them played for a day and then they were told they had to strip off and get into a room with all the other men at the camp. This is a brilliant story with lots of excitement and a mind changing ending.
My Story
I wanted to read the book because my mum said it was very enjoyable and had a good story. It also made me want to read it because it had no blurb so this made me very curious. This book changed my life because it showed you what it was like to be a child in World War II whether you were in a Nazi family or living in a concentration camp. It had a very good yet sad twist at the end which made it an even better book. I would recommend it to anyone.
