2Our opinions
- Lukes opinion I thought this book was very
moving, with many sad parts including the ending
which was especially sad. It felt like you were
in the book and in the concentration camp. - Daniels Opinion I think this book was very
interesting and drags you in. The storyline puts
pictures into your head and gets emotional as the
book goes on. I don't want to ruin the book for
other readers so I'll just say it takes you on an
emotional journey with two nine year old boys
called Bruno and Shmuel. I would give it a 9/10. - Kierons Opinion This book was quite slow to get
into, but after a chapter or two, it made me want
to read on. It was very well written and I felt
that it was so moving, it could have been based
on a true story. The story was also extremely sad
when they couldn't find Bruno. Overall I think
this book was a great chill.
3OUR OPINIONS continued
- Caras opinion This book is good and
interesting. I liked how the setting was
described clearly and how creative and
intelligent the ideas were. This book had
surprising twists which captured my attention. - Dinahs opinion This book was gripping and
factual, the incorparatation of German history
really made the book believable the emotions the
book unlocked were surprising as sometimes you
felt like shutting the book and never opening it
again! - Jendayis Opinion I liked the way the book is
paced it makes you feel as though you are in the
book living it like Bruno. -
