👕 John Boyne Boys' Striped Pajamas for Boys' Clothing Review

This book is so heartbreaking. I already knew the plot, but I still really enjoyed reading the book. It has many omens that can only be understood if you really pay attention. A very touching but beautifully written book. It's great for kids because there are only hints of violence and there's never any written violence or details like you see in other books. I would read that again! I probably will in a few years.

The horrifying book about the Holocaust should be removed from all school curricula. My son read this book at school and I picked it up and read it after hearing mixed reviews about it. This is a terrible task for Holocaust education, and also a deeply misleading task. He takes the horrors of a concentration camp and uses them to build a story revolving around a little German boy, the son of a concentration camp commandant, and what goes wrong in his life when he befriends a little boy over a…

Brunos' innocence in the face of extreme brutality. Thank you for keeping Bruno innocent to the end. That should never happen again.

No book has ever made me cry more. 😭💔 I'm very sorry for everyone who had to go through this time. There is absolutely no reason or need for such hatred in this world and I cannot believe this actually happened. How can people do such terrible things to each other? My god, I'm so, so sorry. 😭💔

It wasn't a terrible book, just not very believable, and it suggests that people didn't know what was going on, and THAT isn't believable at all. Hatred of Jews was proclaimed everywhere.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is one of those books that I think most people should read at least once in their lives. The action takes place in Berlin during World War II. A boy named Bruno returns home to find his father with a "very important job" and the family is about to move to a new house. The move is unintentional and he ends up in a house near Auschwitz (which he mistakenly calls "out of home"). The story is told in the third person and the reader follows Bruno as he lives in his new

A touching and frightening story about a little boy named Bruno who needs a friend more than anything in the world. The events of World War II, of course, tell of despair and hope.

Not at all. Yes, there was a holocaust. However, Bruno's grandfather wasn't even a character. During the Holocaust he would have been sent straight to the gas chambers. If you want to write a book about the Holocaust, compile the facts.

Given how many WWII novels I've read, I'm surprised at how long I put off this one. Until I joined the kind reading, I wasn't aware of the more problematic issues, so I took it with some skepticism. There are definitely serious problems in the book, most of which stem from Bruno's forgetfulness and lack of empathy. What annoyed me the most was the lack of correction from his family and even Shmuel. The son of a Nazi commander would not be in the dark about his father's role in the Holocaust…

"...Despite the chaos that ensued, Bruno still had Shmuel in his hand and nothing on earth would convince him to let go." The boy in the striped pajamas will always have a special place in my heart. In around 240 pages, the author gives us an impression of what it was like for German and Jewish children, Nazi soldiers and families of Nazi soldiers during the Holocaust. There are many historical fiction books dealing with the Holocaust and World War II, but not many books written from a German…

As with all of John Boyne's books, it took me time after reading to process what I read. As if each of his books deserved a moment of silence. Written from the point of view of a child who clearly doesn't understand the depravity that surrounds him and the utter devastation of the spirit he lives with next door, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas offers a touching look at innocence among children before it is given to them were taught to hate. It is this innocence of spirit that ultimately…

This is an excellent book. He also has a movie, so if you've read it, watch the movie later. I bought it to force myself to start reading again.

This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I'm 13 years old and I like to read books like Jupiter Orbit, Red Queen and DAS war so good <3

You can't compare the naivety of a nine-year-old in 1945 to today's seemingly mundane nine-year-olds, who are confronted with adult language, content and objects on television, social media and heartless adults who don't care much about children, who delight in innocence. Childhood. But are most nine-year-olds that peaceful these days? Most nine-year-olds are naturally naïve, even when they have to study adult stuff. Most children become confused and anxious, undemanding, understanding, and…

Well written historical novel. When soldiers and Jews come together, lessons are learned. I find this book heartbreaking. A middle school-age grown child can handle this book. If not, wait until they transfer to high school. A way to learn about the Holocaust.

A sweet but heartbreaking short story. It was well written and caught my attention. There were good characters and some I didn't really like.

Buying books online is difficult, sometimes we get used books when they are listed as new. The book is new, well packaged and of good quality.

This book is about a boy named Bruno who is 9 years old and his journey/experience moving abroad. Bruno's father is a very important person because he runs one of the Jewish concentration camps. The Jews are very thin and covered in dirt, it looks like they are wearing striped pajamas. The reason they moved in the first place is because his dad's boss name is "Fury". Bruno wants to explore the fence but isn't allowed to, even though he wants to be an explorer later, so he does it anyway. . As…

This story about the Holocaust is profound, amazing and heartbreaking; it reminds me a bit of the movies La Vita è Bella (Life is Beautiful) and Jojo Rabbit. It tells the story of 9-year-old Bruno, who cannot understand why his family has moved from their beautiful home in Berlin to a smaller house much further away due to his father's important work for Germany. Alone from his friends at home, he becomes curious about the people in "striped pajamas" he sees behind the fence from his new…

I'm an adult and never read this book as a kid, but after moving to Germany I felt it was a good place to start. Actually, I would have expected this book to be even more emotional. It's too easy to think of children reading this book who don't really understand the horrors that happened. I'm glad I read it, but I definitely think it should be read, explained and evaluated more often in US schools. Because I didn't read it in school and I know it would have influenced me more when I was a kid…
