The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a young adult novel about the Holocaust. I found it to be an unusual story, and one of the most difficult and disturbing I will ever read. The novel describes an event seared into the fabric of history, and a fable told through the voice of a child. Throughout the story, the author John Boyne focuses on Bruno's innocent and puzzled view of his father's job, and he offers a previously unseen perspective on the everyday Germans who took part in the Nazis' ultimate solution. I really enjoyed reading this novel, and I thought it was well written, compelling and ultimately shocking. I believe the author Boyne approaches to the Holocaust in an unique way throughout the story in order to teach his readers this troubling time in human history. I was very surprised when I read the ending because it was very abrupt and extremely devastating. There were many unanswered questions in the end of the book, and they provided a sense of mystery and intrigue as I read on. I would definitely recommend The Boy in the Striped Pajamas to readers who want to explore the beauty of a child's innocence in a time of war and the common desire we all have for friendship. Finally, I believe after reading the novel people can learn that we must all navigate and choose whether or not to break down the fences in our society.
