May we never repeat this history ( ![]() This really is a teen girl's diary, in all its glory. Varsha has written the best review about this testimony —because it is a testimony, not an ordinary book—. it puts in black and white my opinion about some reviews that give me shivers of dread in view of so much banality. If a legacy like this is not reminded to generation upon generation, if it doesn't break and open the head of the majorities, we the humans will keep on inflicting to us same such horror day in and day out until committing suicide like species. So this is not a rating given from the enjoyment level, how would there be enjoyment in something like this? It's more a vote than a rating, a vote given from my conscience and my heart. Honestly had no words reading this book, it’s heartbreaking Good biography of a hidden Jewish girl and her family in Amsterdam. I read a couple more later in 2010 about her. The diary is not quite what I thought it was!
It is a truly remarkable book. Its revelation of the emotional turmoil and intellectual growth of an adolescent girl during extraordinarily difficult circumstances is psychologically fascinating. Its portrayal of ordinary people under frightful nervous strain and perpetual forced intimacy is wise and perceptive. Anne was precociously mature in her understanding of both herself and of others. Anne Frank's diary is too tenderly intimate a book to be frozen with the label "classic," and yet no lesser designation serves... But her book is not a classic to be left on the library shelf. It is a warm and stirring confession, to be read over and over for insight and enjoyment.
