Zlata's Diary: A Child’s Life in Wartime Sarajevo Audiobook

" I loved this book when I was a kid. Zlata is compared to Anne Frank a lot, but personally I don't think they were/are anything alike except that they both lived through a war. As a kid I found Zlata's voice very real and genuine and my heart went out to her. I think this is a good book for younguns to have. "

" It was an amazing book. Full stop! "

" While most of us weren't around when WWII occured, we can certainly remember the war in Sarajevo and it is for this reason I feel that Zlata's Diary has such a powerful impact with people today. "

" This is definitely a child's view of war, and interesting as such, but there is so little context that I wondered what 10th grade students would get out of it (we are considering it for next year's curriculum). "

" Suggest all young teens read this. "

" Another book about a child's perspective in a war-torn country. Although written 15 years ago it could still be applicable to many children in many countries today. "

" I was not a big fanof this book. I found it Very one sided and really uneducated. I'm her age so I know it's not that she's younger or anything like that. I found it boring and would read it as a space filler but not for entertanment. "

" It's amazing how similar she is to children in America. I read this because they talked a lot about it in The Freedom Writers. Because she's in a war it's a lot of the same things everyday...hunger, no electricity, shelling, boredom. So sad that this happened to such a beautiful city so soon after the world had just been there for the Olympics. "

" I remember this war when I was in High School but it was so interesting to read it from her perspective. "

" The story of War has been captured in a simple way. A child's world and life during war. The obvious terror of strife is portrayed in a girls facile words. "

" A young girl's account of her life in war-torn Yugoslavia is marked as similiar to Anne Frank's, but not quite. It is a moving account. But she is not as introspective as Anne Frank was, no surprise since she is much younger, so it is not as moving. "

" Interesting read, but a little slow at parts. "

" 921 Filipovic This is a compelling and fairly sad view of the Yugoslavian war as witnessed by a child in Sarajevo. "

" I liked it a lot. Not as great as Anne Frank, but certainly a sad story. Zlata explained her time in the war with great detail. "

" I loved this book. It was expressing her true, untamed feelings of the war. But the diary was like a adult perception how a war is seen. She was gifted and talented..!!!! "

" This book was a good book.. except i didn't like how she was talking about getting her diary published and all of that in her diary.... I don't know.. I just didn't like that "

" This book was OK. It was sort of redundant and hard to understand. "

" Good to read with a young child. Great reminder to appreciate what you have. "

" really like this book. this book influenced me to write a diary n call my diary with a name...hehehe...but the bad thing is i lost it long time ago!!! "

" another great story about the Holocaust. "
