AMAZING! I love reading about history and this story is not only written about World War II its written during World War II. Anne Frank has been officially added to my dead people I want to meet list. For a young 12 year old to have not only witnessed such a significant part of our history but to have also documented it from her perspective is pure genius. Her writing is magnificent and the fact that she was only writing for herself is truly remarkable. I can’t help but think about the amazing author she would have become had she survived.
This diary describes in detail the horrible situation the Frank’s as well as the Van Daans are confined to while in hiding. It really makes you think twice about your current life situations and circumstances. You see Anne develop from a young girl into a mature 15 year old who ponders questions that I don’t think half the adults today have thought about. She tries to come to grips with what is going on around her while you try to detach, knowing that with each page turn your going to have to let go of her sooner than later. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who can read and if you can’t read, get it on tape. Goodreads (additional reviews)
