I went through a phase in my life that it seemed all I read was about WWII, concentration camps, etc. So I got a little burned out on them and I don't read a whole lot of those types of books anymore, but your review makes me what to read this book.caribookscoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728619625250060244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-63865580226342922782009-02-21T08:20:00.000-08:002009-02-21T08:20:00.000-08:00This book sounds good - I am going to add it to my...This book sounds good - I am going to add it to my library list.

Everyone suffers during a war and it's good to see fictional accounts of both sides experiences. John Boyne's The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is another good example of a book about a German child during the war.<BR/><BR/>When I wrote my novel, Hitler and Mars Bars, I hadn't read any either of these books. Now I'm fascinated to see how many different portrayals there can be of German children's experiences. Each of the 3 books is very different yet they reveal aspects of these children's lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-58623648566418562009-02-20T11:23:00.000-08:002009-02-20T11:23:00.000-08:00I read the ARC of this a few years ago and was blo...I read the ARC of this a few years ago and was blown away by it.
