The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

This book was recommended to me by my friend who runs her own book club so i started reading this with no hesitations. Its a short book, read this slowly over two nights. Its a slow kind of story where not much happens but what happens in quite enormous. I really cant come up with any other way to describe what happens in this story.

Written by John Boyne, this story is set in the times of the Holocaust where 9 year old boy Bruno and his family move from Berlin to Auschwitz due to his fathers promotion. Being an inquisitive boy Bruno goes for a walk.. and i really don't want to give anymore away! If i keep going i'll just end up retelling the whole story and this really is a book that you MUST read for yourself. I sat there after finishing the book frantically texting back and forth with my friend who recommended it to me. gaaahhhh... im still not over this book and i dont think i ever will be.

I finished this book a while ago and have finished another book since then.. so on to the next one!
