This book is written in an odd way and takes some getting used to. Although there are many factual errors (nine year-olds would have been killed upon entering Auschwitz and Bruno mistakes words like Fuhrer and Auschwitz for Fury and Out-With, which would only work in English, despite Bruno speaking German) this book was overall very good. The ending made me cry, and it gives a pretty unique perspective, from inside the house of a Nazi soldier. It really makes you why the Nazis were driven to such terrible acts, since Bruno's father was said to be kind to the maid Maria after her mother died, and it shows the power of brainwashing, especially on young children like Gretel. I would recommend this book.
