 This book was better than I thought. I had heard lots of people tell me, "Oh. I read the book. It was really good." or "That was a really sad movie. There was one part where..." and still others said, "I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I heard it was good." But it wasn't until I read the book that I could agree with what anyone had said. I had picked this book because, at the time, I was very interested in the holocaust. Starting off, the book seemed like any other book. A story about a little boy, and how he was upset he had to move and didn't like the new house. But as I read more and more, the story began to unravel, and I realized that this boy was a part of the holocaust, sad to say he was on the side of the Germans. But as I read even more, I found out something sadder still, this boy was siding with the Germans, saying "Heil Hitler", and he didn't even know what it was that was going on. Even worse, his father was one of the top Nazi's. The little boy, being an adventurer, naturally set out on an adventure. He finds a fence that goes on and on, in each direction. Down along the fence he walks until he see's a dot in the distance. He walked towards it. While he was thinking, "his feet were taking him, step by step, closer and closer to the dot in the distance, which in the meantime had become a speck, and then began to show every sign of turning into a blob. And shortly after that the blob became a figure. And then, as Bruno got even closer, he saw that the thing was neither a dot nor a speck nor a blob nor a figure, but a person. In fact it was a boy." So our little boy Bruno, befriends this boy, and later finds out he is a Jew. Although he knows that he is not supposed to be around Jews, he likes this little boy, and believes that he is a "good Jew", even though his father and the other soilders, say that there is no such thing as a good Jew. This book shows us that friendships can be made, no matter what. This book is amazing. Travel with Bruno as he goes on an adventure, that at first was just to follow the fence, but that became to keep the only friend that he had after he moved.
