Download The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Audiobook

" I really enjoyed this book! It was hard for me to put it down, I ended up reading it at the beach and even at friend's houses! "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" by John Boyne was about a nine year old boy named Bruno who's father is reassigned and forced to move to a concentration camp as the head leader. Bruno, being young, does not understand the situation and ends up befriending a small Jewish boy at the camp. What I liked about this book was being able to note smaller themes that Bruno was not able to identify due to his age. Neither him nor his friend, Shmuel, understood exactly what was going on. Bruno even found himself at times wishing he was "on the other side of the fence where there were more boys to play with". Bruno's ignorance towards the situations and acceptance of Schmuel really touched me and helped me enjoy this book. I would suggest this book to anyone! "

" It wasn't bad, wasn't good....it was disturbing. Perhaps that was the author's intent. Indeed, I will remember the ending, whether I want to or not. Having visited the Holocaust museum, the images in the book were that much more real to me. I would not recommend for a child ever. "

" Excellent book. A must read. "

" This book is a good book that shows some of the events that had happened in concentration camps for the Jewish people. The Germans were wanting to wipe out all of the Jews. This book is about a little boy that lives next to one of those camps with his family. When he goes to his back yard, he notices a boy in stripped pajamas sitting next to the fence that separates them two. They little boy tries to get his friend out (the boy in the stripped pajamas) by sneaking him into his house. I think that this is an amazing book for those that don't really get what happened back then between the Jews and the Germans. This book is full of drama between the boy and his family, and some violent parts. I suggest this book for every body that can read. "

" For young adult fiction, that is written like a fable, I found this book fascinating. It is hard to understand what an 8 year old thought about the holocaust. But in addition to thinking like a child, there were also many adult messages to be learned. "

" I have also seen this movie - intense and disturbing as were the times. "

" powerful, emotional without being treacly. "

" A great, quick read. It's written like a child's book for adults.....very sad though. "

" One of the best books I have ever read! "

" One of the most haunting books I've ever read. The ending is played out in such a chilling manner that I genuinely cried. A definite must-read. "

" One of the worst books I've ever read. "

" I liked the descriptions given from the perspective of a 9 year old boy who didn't understand. It made a sad situation even sadder. "

" Absolutely though-provoking. Glad I gave it a go! "

" This is a short, easy to read book and very tastefully done! I really enjoyed it, even given the subject matter (Auchwitz). Tho POV from a little German boy was very unique. "

" Thats a really good book. it has a bit of suspense, and gets very interesting in the middle, after the boring beginning. The ending , though is very unexcpected and dumb! But go ahead and read it if you like suspense. "

" This book is a celebration of friendship in its purest form before being tinted by the ugliness of the adult world, set in one of the darkest periods of human history. "

" A young boy in Nazi Germany meets a boy in striped pajamas on the other side of the fence and befriends him much to tragic results. "

" This is such a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching book. It was amazing. "

" What a difference it would make if the whole human race could become as a little child and see the world as it really is . . . "

" The narrator is the son of the Nazi commandant who heads a concentration camp. Wonderfully done! "

" great book read it when my daughter brought it home from primary school a few years ago lol ..was so sad but much better than the movie... just wish i could change the ending :( x "

" I read this in a day........artfully constructed storytelling....highly recommend "

" Such wonderful voice in this, and so heartbreaking. I saw the movie first and obviously there are differences, but both broke my heart in slightly different ways. "

" I thought this book was pertickerly good because of the nature it was set in and what events occur. I have also seen the movie of "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas" which was a exciting but towards the end it was sad. "

" The story of the Halocaust from the eyes on a nine year old. One a jewish boy and one the son of the commandert. It was a quick read and a very simple, but touching aspect of the reign of Hitler in a young boys life. Oh, to have the heart of a child. "

" The story is told from he view of a nine year old boy and it doesnt make a lot of sense to do this but Boyne tells a great story. The boy makes suble references to things that at first glance is just the name of this like the place he lives "out-with". "
