"So it goes."
"So it goes." rated it 7 years ago
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...

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...

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...

http://www.annefrank.org/en/ After having a actual look at the hiding place, I shiver of the thought living there for 2 years. Sure, it's better than concentration camp, but the space is just too confined, which explains why there were frequent quarrels. I admire Anne even more.At first I thought th...

Anne Frank was Jewish. She kept a diary during the Holocaust of her feelings and what went on in the Annex.You can't deny she had talent and would've made it as a writer. Such a shame.

I love and admire Anne Frank. I'm also a huge fan of not only her personality but writing skills and the way she can portray sometimes very difficult and harsh things.
