The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you sit watching on the other side of the fence and do nothing, you are as bad as the perpetrators. Extreme evil needs to be counterbalanced by extreme innocence.



This is a good read-a-loud/discussion book regarding holocausts round the world, but specifically during WWII.

So, wahla...my first piece of Facebook flair.....
