Summary: great reading
Review: This book was wonderful. You could only think of what could have been of Anne Frank. She could have been a good writer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most moving book I have ever read...
Review: This is the book that has impacted my life the most out of all of the books I have read in my entire life. Anne Frank was given a diary on her 13th birthday. She poured out her heart into it. She was forced to go into hiding when the Nazis were rounding up more and more Jewish people in Amsterdam. Her tales of the hiding place give descriptions of laughter and sorrow. You can see how much she matured from the chatterbox into a young woman. Her love for nature shows us when you have nothing, nature is always there. It also shows us to look at all that we have and not to worry about what we do not have. Her wish was that she wanted to go on living after her death. She has impacted thousands of lives. Please by this moving book that you will never dream was written by a 13 year old girl.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eloquent Anne!
Review: This diary is eloquently written. It is obvious that Anne Frank is profoundly talented. It is an awful tragedy that such talent would perish as she did. However, she did complain an awful lot. I do understand that she was going through what all adolescents go through. I think if she had known how bad the concentration camps were, she would have been more appreciative of the little things she had in the annex. This is an excellent book! Go out and read it today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Diary of a Young Girl
Review: You share Anne's troubles and triumphs, hopes and dreams, and loves and hates. You feel as if you are living in the Secret Annex with Anne yourself. You'll smile at such moments like when Anne and Peter kiss. You'll laugh at Mrs. van Daan's pet peeves. But you'll especially cry. Especially when you read after the actual diary that Anne and the members of the Secret Annex were taken away. Only 1 member survived, Anne's father. You'll cry knowing that poor, young Anne was taken away from her parents and sent to a concentration camp. She died just a little while before the camp was liberated. Peter died just a few days before his camp was liberated. You'll be left thinking "Why couldn't she have lived just a few more days? Why?". This book is truly a must read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, but Tragic, story of a young girl
Review: I read this book when I was a fourth grader, and I didn't both enjoy and understand it. Last week, I read it as a fifth grader and enjoyed and understood it with unbeliveable curiousity. I love to hear Anne's insights on matters. I wondered what it would be like to have Anne for a friend. This is a wonderful book, but it is pretty hard for a younger kid to understand. It is great for middle school kids, from kids age 101.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Diary of a Young Girl
Review: Ok, so I've heard all the hype, I'm interested in World War II, and being a teenager I can relate to Anne. This Is a Good Book, but wait... it's not perfect. It is unfair to criticize Anne, she was NOT writing for you and me, or to make money off publishing, or even to entertain. She was writing for herself, they are her thoughts to herself, her deepest emotions. She was writing to stop from suffocating from the boredom and the opression of having to stay indoors for TWO YEARS. It is not perfect, but that isn't Anne's fault. The thing is, I would've liked to have learned about her life in the concentration camp, but the Diary ends three days before the family's capture by the Gestapo. That was a big disappointment, although, thinking back it was unrealistic to expect writing from a death camp prisoner. The second thing is that the war is of little relevance in the book, and it should not have been used as the main advertisement for it.

It is a book mostly about the girl, not really about the raging war around her. Still, I do not regret reading it and I recommend it strongly...

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Sublime and heart rending.
Review: More than just a historical document, Anne Frank's diary stands not only as a tribute to her but as a tribute to all those who lost their lives so wantonly and unnecessarily during World War Two. I wept while reading it, for her teenage hopes, dreams, and frustrations mirrored my own, and I wept because her dreams for the future never came to fruitition. One of Anne's wishes was that she should continue living after her death, and thanks to this diary, her memory will never fade, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of those that cherish this book for centuries to come.
