This is a sad book but I think it has a great meaning behind it. I would recommend this for any grade higher than 8th because they would need to take the class over wars first. I watched the movie based on this book when I was 15 and it is a really inspiring movie that is heartbreaking. (  ) Kym23 | Apr 30, 2021 |  John Boyne is greatly talented and his brilliance is demonstrated through this amazing piece of literature. This book is powerful and packed with adventure, as well as shows true friendship and bravery. I read this book for the first time in the 6th grade and ended up with tears. This story is told from the point of view of 9 year-old Bruno whom is totally unaware of the brutal situation going on around him (The Holocaust). Bruno creates a friendship with a Jewish boy named Shmuel who is living in a concentration camp. Although this novel is devastating and presents the true horror of the Holocaust, it is a beautiful piece of art that hooks the reader's attention. I would love to read this book to my English classes to tie in the history of the Holocaust into my lesson over Historical Fiction. (  ) Madimurphy33 | Apr 19, 2021 | Although this story touches on one of the most devastating events in history, telling it through the eyes of a 9-year old boy helped me get through it. The message to me, was that hates is not a trait that we are born with, but a trait that is taught. #bekind ( ) BookLove80 | Mar 12, 2021 | 4.5/5 ( ) TashaMorwell | Feb 24, 2021 | Something like History of Love meets the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Short and innocent. (  ) agdesilva | Feb 15, 2021 |
"Powerful and unsettling.......As memorable an introduction to the subject as The Diary of Anne Frank." "Deeply affecting......Beautiful and sparely written" Aunque el uso habitual de un texto como éste es describir las características de la obra, por una vez nos tomaremos la libertad de hacer una excepción a la norma establecida. No sólo porque el libro que tienes en tus manos es muy difícil de definir, sino porque estamos convencidos de que explicar su contenido estropearía la experiencia de la lectura. Creemos que es importante empezar esta novela sin saber de qué trata. No obstante, si decides embarcarte en la aventura, debes saber que acompañarás a Bruno, un niño de nueve años, cuando se muda con su familia a una casa junto a una cerca. Cercas como ésa existen en muchos sitios del mundo, sólo deseamos que no te encuentres nunca con una. Por último, cabe aclarar que este libro no es sólo para adultos; también lo pueden leer, y sería recomendable que lo hicieran, niños a partir de los trece años de edad. Escolhi ler este livro porque consegue abordar a época Nazi de uma forma simples, não deixando, no entanto, de ser cruel e realista. Foca a inocência de duas crianças, que apesar de pertencerem a culturas diferentes, conseguem viver uma amizade inocente num mundo ignorante. Recomendo-o pois ele consegue transmitir que somos todos seres humanos e que devemos ser respeitados independentemente dos nossos ideias, costumes e cultura, porque se não o fizermos podemos magoar quem realmente amamos.
