Encerrados en la casa de atrás es el complemento perfecto al Diario de Ana Frank, siempre que tengamos en cuenta que en este caso todo es ficción, claro está. Una novela que nos invita a reflexionar sobre la crueldad y los prejuicios del ser humano, a la vez que intenta ser el testimonio de un hecho...
I abandoned this book about 3/4 of the way through.This is a YA historic fiction retelling of Anne Frank's story, from the perspective of Peter, the boy whose family lived with hers in the Annex for two years. It's been many years since I read "The Diary of Anne Frank," but I remember the general s...
Even though it isn't non-fiction like Anne Frank's diary, this is based on stories. It was still fun to read though.
I have a teeny tiny confession to make, I've never read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl it's not even that I can't get a hold of one, I have a copy I've just never taken the time to read it. But possibly due to this some things in Annexed didn't make sense to me, like why where the Franks so m...
I would suggest this to any teen looking for a Holocaust story. It's easy to relate to Peter's swinging emotions as he's in the annex, and his feelings for Anne are sweet and complicated, though would possibly be a turnoff for some male readers? The majority of the book takes place in the annex, wit...

Entering into the tale, I knew that by the end this novel it would either blow me away or leave me with a (possibly) bad taste in my mouth. Thankfully, for all us Anne Frank fans out there, the first occurr...
At first when I picked up this book I was worried that it wouldn't be as good as it could be. But as this is a touchy subject to write about, I figured the publishers wouldn't publish it if it wasn't good.I wasn't disappointed. Completely (well almost) historically accurate, I feel like Peter is now...
This is a haunting book. It is also a very creative idea, and I was entralled in the journey, and even knowing that these characters did not meet a favorable end, I was still rooting for them and wishing otherwise. I enjoyed getting a fresh perspective on these well known characters, and it felt it ...
I'm not sure how to review a book like this. It is an absolutely brilliant book, but certainly not one I can claim to have enjoyed. Who could enjoy such a story? That being said, I consider it one of the best books I have ever read. It is a moving testimony to bravery, pain, suffering and hope. The ...
