The Boy in the Striped Pajamas 

By. John Boyne

           The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is all about the Holocaust. Its about a boy named Bruno and his family that live in Germany. They move to the country side and the boy hates it there because there is nowhere to explore and no one to play with. He always sees people working in the distance, but he is never allowed in the back garden to see them better. One day he sneaks away from home and finds a camp surrounded by a wire fence. There he immediately befriends a young boy named Shmuel. Shmuel and every one else at the camp are wearing striped pajamas just like the ones Bruno has. Every day Bruno brings his new friend food and plays games with him. One day Bruno decides to help Shmuel find his dad, who went missing in the camp. While searching they are marched, along with other prisoners, into a gas chamber. When Brunos mother finds out he is missing, she immediately goes to his father, but when they get there, they find that they are already too late. Their son is already dead.
       This is a really sad book and it says a lot about the holocaust. What makes this book even more sad is that it is true. I would give this book a 9 out of ten. One thing I dont like about this book is that it just ends. It just leaves off like that. Im just not a big fan of books, or even movies, that do that.
        I would say the book is pretty much like the movie, the characters are not like I expected, but then I didn't know what to expect.
