The boy in the striped pajamas

I don't know if there are many versions of this book but the one I've read had a very easy reading level. The story tells the story of a nine-year old boy called Bruno who lived in the time period of War World II. Bruno is born is a wealthy German family due to his father being the commander of the army. In the novel the author shows how innocent Bruno is simply just by making him asking simple questions. This book is historical as it is set within the World War II time, there is a little of comedy however the ending is full of tragedy.

At first I was interested in the book because I thought the title of the book is quite unusual. When I was reading through the first few chapters I was quite irritated with Bruno's childish behavior and kept saying that he is inconsiderable about the situation and atmosphere. However, after finish the book and knowing the ending I was more forgiving for the young, innocent boy. If you read this book you may learn some historical facts as well as enjoying the story, so check it out!
