Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl is one of those books that I have heard of since I was a wee lad and never got around to reading until now that I am no longer a lad (but still rather wee in stature). A few weeks ago I was looking at one of those “Books to Read Before you Die” lists (I forget ...
“Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women...
It has been a very long time since I've read this book, but it left an indelible impression on me. Six million Jews dead because of Nazi genocide? A statistic. A story like Anne Frank's Diary? A tragedy truly felt. And not from horrific details, not from learning about the Holocaust itself, but simp...
A great book. A bit strange to read, knowing the outcome, while Anne doesn't. At times, the book reads like a fictional diary where the author knows where she's going with the story, knows the ending, and is putting in poignant little moments or comments to pull at the reader's heart strings, but of...
I recently bought this at one of the Salvation Army's shops here in Norway, and I knew that I had no longer an excuse not to read this book. I've been postponing it for very long, and I don't even know why.Anne Frank was a very reflected young girl. I was nowhere near that reflected when I was thirt...
How do you review a book that was not meant to be a book?The only thing that comes to my mind for this book is..interesting. I'm sure there are better books about Jewish accounts of hiding and their perception of the war and better books of reading a teenager's inner self, contradictions and no-one-...
I feel absolutely horrendous even rating this. The three-star rating is only based on what it made me feel. Because (quite obviously) I knew the outcome before the beginning, I read the whole thing with this horrible sense of dread in my stomach. To be honest, I think I just was too young to be ca...

If I had to sum this book up in a few words, those words would be amazing, important, and moving. Anne records her last two years in this book, and by doing so gives us a first hand account of the holocaust and what it was like to be alive then. Someparts are thoughtful and inspirational, others fun...
