The Boy Who Dared Audiobook

" The book is boring, made me fall asleep "

" a world war II book. "

" This book fostered one of our most talkative book club discussions to date. At book club we watched a documentary on the life of the main character, and the documentary made me like the book even more. It really is a remarkable tale of a boy who dared go against everything society said was okay but that he knew wasn't. Wouldn't you like to look back on your life and say you were able to do the same...even to the point of risking your life? Wonderful book, very easy read, and great discussion. "

" My World History teacher told me to read this book, it was a really good book and very moving. "

" A sad book. It shows the courage a boy can have and how terrible the Nazi's were from inside the German borders. "

" It has been done before... but still a good book "

" It was really sad, I was mad that he had to die. He was really brave to stick up for his friends. I hate world wars they are so pointless, so many people die for almost no reason. "

" This book is about a boy from WW2 who was a German but he didn't like the Nazi's so he got a radio and listened to foriegn brodcasts and then he wrote a pamphlet about how the Nazis were wrong. In the end he got killed for it. "

" My son was reading this book for a school project, so I became curious and picked it up yesterday afternoon. I read it all in one setting. This is a marvelous true story of courage and dignity against all odds. I absolutely loved it. "

" The book had well-chosen words, and I loved how Susan Campbell Bartoletti made the Nazi culture accurate. She must have studied hard when writing this book! "

" Amazing! Tragic and so very very good. I am reading A LOT of Holocaust books right now and this so far is my favorite. A completely different view on the Holocaust. "

" I thought that it was a pretty solid book, it was pretty interesting overall. However, there's no surprise to it at all, I've been able to see the major events coming from a mile away. But hey, there's not much you can do to change up a true story I suppose. "

" This book is a very sad book but the boy in this book is very very brave to do all these things aginst the most horrifing people...... THE NAZIS!!! He does all these bthings to fight for Jews freedom... If you read this book HAVE FUN REading!!! "

" Another great story about a person who stood up for what he believed in! "

" SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOO good SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad!!!!!!!!! "

" Good story about a German boy going to school during the Nazis power and how he struggles with how the Jews are unfairly being treated. "

" really good so far.... "

" There are hundreds of novels out there about WWII, and though this one is far from the best, I wouldn't dismiss it either. I enjoyed the view of a German citizen, a teenager, fighting against the government he once supported. It shows that even the German people were prisoners of the Nazi regime. "

" Not done yet, but so far, so good. This was a great book and I highly recommend it. It's about a boy who dared to stand up for what he believed in during the reign of Hitler when it was absolutely forbidden. "

" I enjoyed this book immensely, it was sad but it was real and that was what I needed after a year of mostly fictional books. "

" Written beautifully as it gives a boy's take on WW2. A sad, cryable ending buy beautiful. "

" This book was very good. It is about the way life was like in Germany during WWII. It is about Hitler youth and a boy who wants to get the truth out about the war. "

" Super amazing. One of the most amazing stories of courage on one side and cruelty on the other. "

" Good story about a German boy going to school during the Nazis power and how he struggles with how the Jews are unfairly being treated. "

" I'll think a little differently about the song Hero by Skillet from now on. Helmuth is a true hero, braver than I'll ever be. [spoilers removed] "

" I didn't really like the style of writing by this author, but the story was compelling. At the time of Nazi rule a young boy is determined to fight for freedom. I was surprised to find Mormonism a part of the story, but no argument there since it wasn't anything bad. "

" Topically interesting, but the writing itself left a lot to be desired. Very strong non-fiction feel to it, since that's Bartoletti's usual writing. <br/>I think this skews younger YA, easily acceptable for tweens. Lots of interesting parallels to today's world to discuss, too. "

" Okay for a historical fiction with some events that had to happen "

" This book was incredibly moving. I loved being able to read the author's notes at the end and really get a clear picture of who this daring young man truly was. The pictures added a humanistic touch that made Helmuth so much more than a character printed in the black ink words on the page. "

" This story shook me to my core. Not only because of the message, but because it is based on a real person. I've had a lot of assigned reading on the WWII era. This has been one of my favorite reads so far. A moving novel with a purpose. "

" Good book. I really liked this book, i really enjoyed reading it. "
