Book Review: A 20TH CENTURY MASTERPIECE WRITTEN BY A YOUNG GIRL
Summary: 5 Stars
ANNE FRANK: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL is truly an inspirational and motivating account of a young German-Jewish girl who leaves the happiness and tranquility of her childhood life during World War II to go with her family and the Van Daans (the friends of the Franks) into hiding in the "Secret Annex" in Amsterdam, Holland, after Anne's sister, Margot, is ordered by the German SS to deport to one of the numerous concentration camps in German-dominated Europe. The writer of this diary, Anne Frank herself, gives intricate details of her deepest and innermost thoughts about her own experiences in life as well as about life itself. The reader not only experiences Anne's greatest emotional struggles in the last two years of her life in the Secret Annex, but also her most philosophical insights about the world and humanity. In her diary, Anne tells of the daily hardships that she and the seven other silenced Jews face, from having to life in fear of British and German air raids to having to live in utter silence in order to keep outsiders from discovering their secret. From the first day of Anne's receiving "Kitty", as Anne calls her diary, to just three days before the German SS storms the Secret Annex to take the Jews on the last train trip to the atrocious Auschwitz concentration camp, the reader falls deeply in love with the courageous, strong-willed Anne Frank. Without a doubt, Anne Frank's diary is one of the most outstanding works ever for informing all deep-thinking readers not only about the cruel life that Jews faced during the Second World War, but also about the most complex thoughts of young girls and the challenges they encounter while growing up into their young adolescent years. This is a highly recommendable, easy-to-read book for any passionate reader.Book Review: Anne Frank:The Diary of a Young Girl

If you ask me that's a lot of people for a three bedroom two bath loft. Ok they all are friends and family they all were forced out of their homes into a even smaller loft, and are all packed in there with each other that's a lot of invading privacy. There's a war going on right out side their door, and their trying to stay out of it and not get caught is the main problem. The war is sooo bad out side they can barely sleep with all the sounds of guns, bombs, and screaming, but most importantly the fear for losing their lives. This story is really exciding the excitement of the war and the sense of fear in her words and the sense of anger in them. Well Anne Frank is right in the middle of this horrible war and don't have any friends so she tells her dad she wants a diary so he goes out and gets her one and so she calls her diary kitty so she's her only "friend",so if any one finds her diary they wont know who was writting it and who she was really talking to. i think thats a smart idea. i really like this book and i thnk you would too.
Book Review: ONCE READ, EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FORGET!
Summary: 5 Stars
Born in 1929, Anne Frank was a Jewish girl filled with hopes, dreams and inspirations, like any young girl entering her teens. However, what makes Anne's diary different from today's generation is the time, place and incredible circumstances surrounding her short life. Anne was given a diary at the age of 13 and what she wrote among the pages will touch the reader to their very core. Anne's diary reveals life in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, her relationship with family, the poverty and despair of wartime, and the horrors and attrocities of the Holocaust. The book is deeply moving and one you will remember long after the final page has been read.If there is any one single literary classic which should be read in high school, this one would have to be at the top of the list. Although, it is an emotionally charged book, Anne's story gives today's youth a much deeper appreciation and understanding of the freedom, advantages, and choices they truly have in life. Anne's story makes designer jeans, an expensive prom dress, a "cool new car", spending money and other materialistic commodities very insignificant when it comes to determining what values are important in life and what is truly irrelevant.
"Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" has been a classic for many years and will likely continue to hold its place for many years to come. You will share Anne's fears, sorrows, determination and courage in a period of time so filled with horror and attrocities, most of us who have not endured war could not begin to comprehend. Anne Frank died in Bergen-Belsen, Germany in 1945 at the age of sixteen. This is an account of her life taken from the chronicles of her personal diary.
Book Review: Absolutely amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl, is a piercing, touching, if at times entertaining account of the famous Frank's two years spent hiding in a Dutch warehouse. In her diary, Anne confided her most secret thoughts, and proved to be a talented, insightful girl, with dreams that would only be realized through her horrific death at a concentration camp. Anne's diary begins prior to her hiding,where she describes herself as a carefree, joyous type, yet as the diary progresses, her entries become haunted by details of war, and Anne discovers a serious, passionate side to her that had never been revealed. Daily life is described in detail; life in the "Secret Annexe" was populated by frequent quarrels with the other hidden seven, among them the Van Daans, and Dussel the dentist, as well as her Mother, Father, and sister Margot. Her entries vary from happy one day, to miserable the next, to depressed a third. She imagines life after the war, and one can only feel terrified knowing that she will never get to grow up; though her entries are suprisingly mature. It's a difficult book to read; for even though she expresses such hope for the war to end; we know all to well that the war ends less than a year after her tragic death; and while we are reading Anne is so alive, as if she is sitting next to us and speaking; and we know all to well that she died, and we know all to well that her story was one in six million. The story will appeal to a more mature audience; yet I reccomend it to be read at least once; it has such power. It definitely requires emotional understanding, and background information of the war makes the story, while more so near un-endurable, have more impact upon its reader.
