A review by reader4evr
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne

2.0

This is the last historical fiction/WWII novel I want to read for a while. They are always so depressing and never end happy. The only really good part of this book was the ending which was the saddest too.

I listened to this on audiobook and I was surprised the narrator of the story wasn't younger.

Bruno was a very annoying character. I know he is 12 yrs old but gosh he was so full of himself and hardly thought of anyone besides himself.

I might recommend this book to a student that likes historical fiction but I'm not sure because I've read better ones.
