It was okay, but it definitely was not what you would expect of a Holocaust book, and I wouldn't recommend it. The main character might only be 9, but no 9 year old it that dumb! He knew absolutely nothing, and if his dad was this big important person (which it never actually says what his job is!), then Bruno should have known something, but he knew nothing. The book was not accurate, and it was really slow, with no action. And the ending was terrible! I guess it had a good moral, but it was not a great book.
