More About The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
He looked the boy up and down as if he had never seen a child before and wasn't quite sure what he was supposed to do with one: eat it, ignore it or kick it down the stairs.

'Ah, those people,' said Father, nodding his head and smiling slightly. 'Those people...well, they're not people at all, Bruno.' Bruno frowned. 'They're not?' he asked, unsure what Father meant by that.

Updated rating on 10/12/2016...Recently read a GR friend's review on this book which was remarkable! This prompted me to re-visit my own thoughts on the story and I found that my review doesn't fully resonate with me anymore. Initially, I rated this book a 3 - mainly because of challenges with believing that Bruno didn't know what was... Another case of some unscrupulous bastard making money with overwrought dramatizations of real tragedies. The Holocaust was a crime beyond imagining, and tying in adorable children and cliched tales of ~Friendship~ would only make the book more tempting to those easily swayed by the spell of sentimentality.Urgh. anyone interested in historical fiction
