### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
*by A***R on 28 November 2023*

A Haunting Tale of Innocence and Ignorance:A Review of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"John Boyne's "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a poignant and thought-provoking story set against the backdrop of the Holocaust. The novel's narrative revolves around two young boys, Bruno, the son of a Nazi commandant, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy imprisoned in the concentration camp adjacent to their home. Their unlikely friendship, born out of innocence and curiosity, serves as a powerful counterpoint to the horrors of the war that surrounds them.Bruno, a curious and imaginative boy of nine, is uprooted from his comfortable life in Berlin when his father is promoted to commandant of a concentration camp. Reluctantly moving to the desolate countryside, Bruno finds himself isolated and bored, yearning for companionship. One day, while exploring the perimeter of the camp, he stumbles upon a young boy clad in striped pajamas, Shmuel, a prisoner on the other side of the fence.Despite their vastly different worlds, Bruno and Shmuel develop an unlikely friendship. They meet regularly under the fence, sharing stories, food, and dreams. Their bond deepens as they navigate the complexities of their circumstances, their innocence shielding them from the full grasp of the atrocities unfolding around them.Boyne masterfully captures the innocence and vulnerability of childhood through Bruno's perspective. Bruno, oblivious to the true nature of his father's work, sees the camp as a strange and mysterious place, unaware of the suffering and persecution that lie within its walls. His naivety highlights the absurdity and cruelty of the Nazi regime, emphasizing the devastating impact of war on the minds of children.Shmuel, on the other hand, bears the weight of the world's horrors. His experiences in the camp have stripped him of his childhood, leaving him with a profound understanding of loss and suffering. Yet, amidst the despair, he finds solace in his friendship with Bruno, a reminder of the humanity that still exists amidst the darkness.As their friendship deepens, Bruno's innocence gradually crumbles. He witnesses the brutality of the camp guards and the despair of the prisoners, slowly piecing together the truth about his father's role in the atrocities. The realization shatters his world, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of the world he has been shielded from.The novel's climax is both heartbreaking and thought-provoking. Bruno's innocent act of kindness leads to a tragic end, highlighting the devastating consequences of prejudice and ignorance. The final scene leaves a lasting impact, a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of empathy and understanding."The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a powerful and moving tale that resonates deeply with readers of all ages. Its exploration of innocence, friendship, and the horrors of war serves as a poignant reminder of the human capacity for both compassion and cruelty. The novel's enduring legacy lies in its ability to challenge our perspectives and inspire us to confront the darkness of the world with a glimmer of hope.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A children's book with a serious ending
*by A***R on 18 April 2023*

4.5 Stars.Some people find it difficult to express innocence in a world full of brutality;Whereas some find it easier to express sobriety in ways that are moving in ways never fully acknowledged enough. Reading through this book made me realize that sometimes, all we need to know is simplified exuberance.Set in Nazi Germany during World War 2, This story is gravitating. The story revolves and surrounds various characters, but the ones who truly grab you by your heart's strings are Bruno and Shmuel.When the times were hard and the air is filled with tension all around the world, The simple tale of a boy and his unusual friend will make you pick up where you left off and go on & on.Now to more pressing matters at hand - How did I find this book?To me, the book is plain and simple a reading slump therapeutic book. Although there is both good and bad revolving in this book when it comes to reviews from veterans, I found that overlooking certain facts in this fictionary depiction is more of a viable option.The Good:- The book holds an aura where you may find yourself reading a children's book, where everything is super simplified and easy to read, and totally understandable. No one can say this book is totally fact or just an art of fiction. Easy-go words and a smooth recollection of events to and fro from the regular fiction books. Since I'm a fan of historical fiction books, I found it pretty much a lovely read, to be honest. But now to more...The Bad:- Truth be told, I'm not a historian, but some facts written in this book were outwardly out of context. The survivors of the holocaust may vouch for me on it.John Boyne has put out a really good book that I think anyone should pick up and give it a read.I highly recommend this book to any first-time reader, although skimming through some pages might be a good option.If you are a non-reader, going through this book might be a good start for you.
