Amazing book, well worth reading, only took me a couple of hours. Stays with you...

Absolutely fabulous

I had some issues with the style of writing with this book (ie some of the 'cute' misspronounciations of words in English wouldn't have worked in the German language), but that aside, it was an extreemly moving book.

must read!

Naive and heartbreaking are the best two words to capture the mood of this book. It's point of view is of a nine-year-old German boy whose father is a Commander of the Nazi party and what happens when he and his family move to "Out-With". Nothing more can be said, as this is one book that needs to reveal itself.

Ein Buch welche lange Zeit ziemlich öde vor sich hinplätschert und dann ein Ende mit Paukenschlag hinlegt.

A very touching story about two little boys who develope a friendship during the Holocaust. One is a Jew, and one is not. Not old enough to understand the differences which have put Germany at war, these two boys become close. Thier friendship meets a very touching end. One that is heart breaking and real.
