The history of democracy starts this book off. It is dry at first. When Mrs. Roosevelt then goes into her idea of democracy and Christianity it gets much better. I like how she corresponds how if we are living a truly Christian life we will think of the greater good of the community instead of th...

This book has brought me to question the human race as God has brought us to do good in this world.It just sadden...

Near the end of the novel, she becomes very insightful. Honestly, for the most part, this felt like exactly what it was - a diary of a young girl. She'd mention all the things they had to suffer through in that attic, and I'd remember that they were events that really happened, and I'd be horrified ...

The story of Anne Frank should be read in fifth grade. It teaches history lessons about WW2 and teaches the important of family. This is a different type of story because it is read by reading journal entries that Anne Frank actually wrote while she was isolated in an attic as a Jewish refugee in ...

To read Anne Frank describing her thoughts and feelings while going through this horrible time for any human being is heartbreaking. So heartbreaking yet so important. This book is a classic. It can help you to understand what the holocaust meant to those caught up in it. Being the real story of a...

She was spoiled, whiny, arrogant, rude - yet she lives on in the hearta of millions. Why does the tragic story of Anne Frank so deeply affect us? Because we know how difficult it is to be young, yearning to grow up and make our own decisions, but lacking the experience and judgment to acknowledge ...

No doubt, it's a touching diary, but, in course of my reading, I also asked myself: how can a girl of her age have this kind of wisdom? Then, I noticed this mention in the introduction: an 'edited' version was published in 1947… Nevertheless, the experiences and emotions that I considered authen...

Although some of the information is a little dated, largely this is an interesting and informative read on her philosophy of life and how to live a good life. It's like listening to a wise older woman who doesn't take your nonsense and will not brook any poor me-ing. She's quite interesting and occ...

I don’t know how to review this book. I don’t think it’s even possible. The Diary of a Young Girl is the real-life diary of a 13-15 year-old girl who spent two years in hiding during World War II. This diary is probably one of the world’s most valuable historical documents. Anne Frank faithfully r...

This is not the most emotional Holocaust book I ever read. I was touched, very deeply, but not necessarily as a result of Holocaust (Unless, of course, after the ending, when the deaths are reported. I'm not a heartless bitch.)Maybe because Anne Frank didn't experiment the worst in Holocaust or, I c...
