This book was absolutely heartbreaking. I knew something awful was going to happen and thought I was prepared for whatever that would be but when the end of the book came I felt as if my heart had been ripped out. It's beautifully written, the nine-year-old perspective of Bruno was flawless. This story of 2 little boys and a fence will stay with me forever. 
 This was a book that needed to be written but I would never causally recommend it. It would have to be for someone very interested in the topic of the Holocaust and absolutely prepared to deal with all the horror that entails. 
 I can't believe they made this into a movie, there is not enough money in the world to make me sit through that.
