I reread this for the Catch-up Book Club on Goodreads, and I'm glad I did. The last time I read Anne's diary I was younger than she was while writing it, and again, I'm annoyed at myself for being such a dumb kid. Also, it's changed since my initial read. There's more and we get more background in t...
AR: 8.5 Grade Level: 6th-8th Summary: Anne Frank: A Hidden Life is all about what Anne Frank and her family endured through the Holocaust. Anne Frank: A Hidden Life gives extreme detail, and allows the reader to experience the Holocaust through Anne's perspctive. Idea: This is a great way to inter...
I read this book as part of Dead Writers Society Literary Birthday Challenge for 2016. I selected this one, and three other books because I feel like I have been slacking lately on my challenges on Goodreads. I first read version b of The Diary of a Young Girl when I was a teenager. I recall being s...
The first book I've read in German! I'm so proud of myself for reading it all, even though I didn't understand 100% of it. Anyway, I found the book to be very realistic, and it hit uncomfortably close to home at first. I've never had serious issues with my weight, but I have been an outsider in my c...
Wednesday, April 5, 1944I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
Original Title: Het Achterhuis For me, this has always been more a symbol than a novel. I know Anne Frank was planning on publishing her diaries and was rewriting them, but as she never got to finish her work, we're actually reading her drafts (which are very good). It's not just a story of living...
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...
3.5 starsFirst off I should note that I do feel slightly guilty only giving this book 3.5 stars, but I rate largely upon enjoyment not historical importance.I absolutely believe everyone should read Anne Frank's diary and I really question why I was never told to do so in school. While reading it it...
How do you rate a book like this? I kept hovering over the stars trying to decide, but this just isn't a book you "rate". I didn't read this for recreational purposes...I read it for information, insight, curiosity. I didn't love it or hate it. I wasn't appalled by the writings of a 14 year old girl...
