Summary: Incredibly moving
Review: As a fourteen-year-old I found incredible comfort in this journal of Anne Frank, and felt priviliged, as well as moved, that I could be allowed to enter the secret world of Anne. I could relate to much she said. Her name is as much a household name as Madonna. She should not face ridicule at all, as celebrities often do, for the thoughts in her diary very well might have been her deepest words, her thoughts, for they were in her diary. A person's diary should be held forever sacred, for diaries immortalize the truth. Hopefully, the "Diary of a Young Girl" will be forever immortalized, as all diaries and journals should, since they contain the truth. The truth in our souls. For those who might review this diary and say it might be slow in some parts, I find that startling, because this is her life. This book was not a work of fiction, written solely for enertaintment, so be gentle with your thoughts. I find it kind that her father allowed Anne's deepest thoughts to go public in the world, and courageous. Some of the bravest people in the book were the helpers, such as Miep or Bep. I definitely recommend reading this book, particularly since it gives you the viewpoint of a person's life in the holocaust: the thoughts, the emotions, as if you were there yourself. You do not truly read more on the tragedy of Anne Frank, for her diary ends, so you would not read on about the horrific lives those in concentration camps lived: lives not long. When I read the afterward of this book, it broke my heart to hear about the annex member's deaths, and the hero's punishments. Whether to be empathetic or sympathetic is a choice, though. It was unimaginable to me to picture Mr. Van Daan, or Hermann van Pels, gassed, or Peter van Pels (van Daan) going on a death march from Austria. The horror must have been unimaginable. There is a new movie out, based on a book, called "Girl Interrupted", chronicling a girl sent to a mental institution, though she was not crazy. She was a girl interrupted, from her regular life, into a life she did not deserved, and whether that is fate or not is arguable. Yet I don't think it is arguable whether Anne Frank was a 'girl, interrupted' or not. She was.

Summary: The Greatest Diary Ever
Review: It tells of young Anne Frank's coming of age in a harsh, cruel world. She's living like a prisoner not being able to play in the sun like most children because of her race, Judaism. I think if you want to read something interesting about how life was for a Jewish girl during the Nazis' rule then read it. You'll realize how much Anne was alike to girls today. However if you want a fact-by-fact description of World War 2 you'll probably be disappointed. Realize that Anne wasn't writing a book about the actual war but her life. Every person should read it.

Summary: Others
Review: The Diary of Anne Frank, although poginant and powerful, is not as striking as the 1,000's of other Holocaust accounts. One must realize that there is more defiant literature under the topic of the Holocaust then the Diary. Read on, my friends, and you can discover stories that will alter your mind severely regarding this horrific atrocity.

Summary: Surviving the horror of the Holocaust
Review: I thought this book was great, the first paragraph caught my attention deeply. I couldn't put the book down, it was so interesting and I was always wondering what kind of unknown situation would happen next. As I read the book I found myself always trying to put me in Anne Franks shoes... I couldn't imagine such a horrible situation they were in the "Secret Annex". Overall the book was unbeliveably excellent.

Summary: book about a girl going through puberty during a rough time
Review: I don't intend to be critizing anything to do with the Holocaust because it was a terrible thing. But this book surprised me because when I started reading it, I thought it would be more like a historical account of life in those times. The book was more about Anne Frank and puberty and how life was tough living in such confined living quarters.Don't get me wrong, this book definitely gave me an idea of daily life in the Frank's family, but I was hoping she would tell more about what was going on in the world that she knew of instead of all about Peter.

Summary: a bit boring yes bad not the worst thing in the world
Review: i was looking at some of the reviews of this book and how people complain that it had no interest and it just went on and on but when you read the book you have to read it knowing that she is not a proffesional writer and of course it does not have much interest in it but it is a good historical piece. i also find that more girls that i know tend to like it because they can sort of relate to her feelings with "peter" i think that's his name but i recomend it to those who want to know what it was like during that time period or who just wnt to read something but they don't know what

Summary: really good
Review: I'm halfway done with this book and I like it a lot. The only teeny problem is sometimes I can't understand stuff Anne says, like I have to read the lines again to understand. When I first picked up the book, which I borrowed from my best friend, I read for an hour straight. When you start reading this book you can barely stop, so I suggest you get a copy of this book and start reading. I can relate a lot to the way Anne feels---imagine being locked up for two years in a place like the "Secret Annexe", not being able to go out just because of your religion, and hardly being able to enjoy things you should rightfully be able to. Not too good for young readers, 'cause they might have a hard time understanding stuff about the war, and the book contains some material that's not best for young kids.
