Must Read.
The Diary of Anne Frank is a must read for anybody. For those who don't know, it was written by a young Jewish girl who was hiding from the Nazis during World War II. It was eloquently written, especially considering the source. It's an eye opening read. Definitely read this.

The Diary of Anne Frank Review
The Diary of Anne Frank had many conflicts first going into hiding because the Germans are taking Jews and sending them to their death or killing them slowly torturing them and housing them in a harsh and dangerous environment. As they go into hiding they face rough times in what they call the Secret Annex. There are many to join in the Secret Annex which give the families many heartbreaks of argument to follow, with shortage of food supply and the worsening of the outside world, watching their loved ones taken and sent to their death makes the members break down even further. Also worrying about getting discovered and taken by the German Soldiers and facing their potential death as well, hallucinating from the noises from the down stairs warehouse.

The dislike I encountered with this novel was the set up of it, the diary form all though unique from most books bothered me, the pace of the book also bothered me it was slow and took awhile to get to the point of the conflict in the story. What I did like about the story was detail and that behind the book it was a true event and a young girl actually went through it, it was inspiring that after it all Anne was still positive and kept hope in the world.
