Loved this - By: C. E. Gwatkin, 08 Jan 2009 
I was recommened this book, by a friend. I didn't know what to expect as i am a teenager & this is a childrens book. But as soon as i started it i couldn't put it down, & like any good book the ending made me cry. I'd definatley recommend this book to anyone who is interestedin something different & a little morbid!
An excellent if somewhat unusual read - By: Minnie, 04 Jan 2009 Writtenin simple text - as if written by a nine year old perhaps, this book deals with a sensitive subject through the eyes of a child. I could not put this book down & read itin two days. A book written for children but needs an adults prespective to understand the true meaning. Older children 11+ would enjoy with some explaining.
A Must Read!!! - By: K. Fisher, 30 Dec 2008 I read a lot of books & never have I felt compelled to write a review about one before but this is one of the most amazing, thought provoking books I have ever read. My heart was beating so fast at several points & I was completely immersedin Bruno's world.
I don't have a lot more to say about this book other than pick it up & read it!
A horrible book, not for children, not for adults - By: X. Zhang, 19 Dec 2008 
I borrowed the book from the library to read it first --in case it is good, I would buy a copy for my 11 year son. Luckily I read it FIRST & what a horror it is!
Let's get it straight -- it was not written by a person with any serious thought on that part of human tragedy. Playing with words like "Out-With"in English should make everyone angry enough!
I find more thought-provoking reading all those "1 star" reviews than reading the book itself. If there is a "zero" star for the review!
May rent a DVD of the film when it is out to see how horrible a movie can make based on this book. But definitely keep away from children. This story is an irresponsible account of the history.
Thought provoking, insightful, great read - By: Allan Freed, 19 Dec 2008 Oncein a while you read a book that causes you to reflect, ponder & really think deeply about what you're taking in. The story itself is compelling & well worth reading but the insight into the period, the conditions & the insanity of what happenedin the concentration camps of the second world war make this a must read. The fact that the story is told through the innocent eyes of a young boy trying to figure out what's happening make it a classic. Thought provoking, insightful & a great read.
