The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.

If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to cross such a fence.

Review of 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I couldn't help but project the thought of my boys onto little Bruno and see them in his place. Innocent and naive. Seems like we've always been trying to protect our kids from the harsh realities of the world for generations and not much has changed in that regard. Maybe protecting them is not the answer after all. It didn't help Bruno.
