An absolutely brilliant diary!!	Customer Rating:
The diary of a young girl is a superb book! Recounting the life of Jews in hiding during the second World War. The cramped conditions, the lack of food and the terror that they might be discovered by the Nazis, is seen through the eyes of Anne Frank. This book is the best diary I have read. It is absolutely amazing.

An insight into another life

Customer Rating:

Not only is the book captivating and interesting but it is completely original. A tale of courage and destruction, love and fear, based around the tragic events of WW2 and the suffering of Jewish people at this time due to Nazi Germany. Not only do you learn about and experience second hand the war, but you also share in the personal feelings of Anne as she grows up, including her strained relationship with her mother. This book takes you interestingly and uniquely from the start of the war to the tragic end.

A book everyone should read.

Customer Rating:

I have only read this book very recently despite knowing the story for years and having visited the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam three times. As this book is written by such a young person I expected the quality of writing to be juvenille. However the standard is remarkably mature. This diary is an historical document that describes a period in time that all Europeans should be ashamed of and learn from. The horrors are still unbelievable how ever many times they are studied or discussed. The Diary of Anne Frank describes a very normal young girl with all the normal emotions of the average teen. I would thoroughly recommend that everyone reads this wonderful poignant novel.

The Best diary of all!!!

Customer Rating:

The Diary of Ann Frank is the diary of a thirteen-year old-Jewish girl who had to go into hiding with her family so they are not killed by the Nazis. Ann got the diary for her thirteenth birthday and Kitty was the name of the diary. Kitty was Ann's best friend while she was in the secret annexe but Peter was also near the middle a very good friend. In the diary, Ann leaves her happy home and the family hide in a secret room behind a bookshelf. This book feels so real but it is a true story that is really fantastic. If you haven't read this journal before you die then you are a total failure. That is how good this book is. The book is both moving and frightening yet it is exciting and touching. This story explains the cruelty of Adolf Hitler in exact detail. There is the edited edition and the definitive edition. Rating: 9.5/ 10.

Not what I thought it would be.	Customer Rating:
I don't wish to stop anyone watching this special story of love and misforture but I found the book long and at times boring. There are details in the book that are not interesting for the reader and some subjects are repeated. I struggled to finish this book and was let down, even though it had been review well before? STD
