The Boy in the Striped Pajamas



***1/2
PG
Could Recommend

This book was very poignant.  
I loved that it was written in the perspective of a small boy.
The voice was very naive and I feel that's what allowed it to stay clean and vague.
For instance, not once did it have language issues but there is some dialogue where a word is omitted because it's a word that the boy knows is not good.
The ending is not what I expected at all...crazy twist.
It made me glad it wasn't based on a true story.
Sad, but again, in a naive sort of way.
