This book truly shows the horrid colors of the Holocaust, the barbaric acts of the Nazis upon the Jews. Anne, a ordinary yet an extraordinary girl truly shows us the purpose of life, the power of hope and the cruel war and its devastating consequences. 
 It is a non-fiction so I cannot comment on the fictional characters, but Anne, a mere girl of 14 somehow succeeds in bringing out the vivid colors of all the members in 'Secret Annexe'. The different events written shows the readers how dreadful it was to live amid a war and how hope was the only strength for life to go on.Not only the surrounding are in a chaos but her inner emotions, conflicts within herself also intrigues the reader, as she suffers through high and low and shares all her secrets with Kitty and her readers. She proves how a person changes over time, becoming more mature, sensible, confident and worthy. She also suffers all the "ordinary teen problem" as she finds and loses her love again and again, as she comes to know more about the people around her, as she comes to know herself. She weeps, she laughs, she giggles(to the annoyance of others) and does all sorts of things a teen-girl appears to do and she writes, reviews and shares extraordinary thoughts to her beloved diary. 
 I found myself in Kitty's place, sometime I wanted to pat her for her good deeds, sometime i wanted to encourage her and sometime I just got mad at her for being foolish and mean. 
 So in short, this book was good and very realistic as it is a non-fiction. 
 I am mostly a fiction reader , but reading this brought quite a change into me, it was defiantly good and is a must read for those who went to purview the conditions of living amid a war. fiction readers should also give it a try as it will be a nice change to come out from the fiction worlds of Capitol, vampires, werewolves, wizards, shadowhunters, demigods, etc. ( I could have written more about the fictional world, but I thought it would be too much). So back to the point, it is a good book with realistic view. i hope you like the review. your comments would be appreciated.
