Summary: Incredible
Review: Reading the diary of Anne Frank is an incredibly moving and thoughtful experience. Although it can be disconserting sometimes to be reading the most personal thought of a young girl.

Anne Frank is a young Jewish girl spanning from the ages of 13 to 15 throughout the book. She lives with her family in Amsterdam during WWII. They go into hiding in an attic with another family for 2 years to try and escape the Nazi's and, well, Hitler.

This whole book, especially the afterward will make you weep in sadness and shake in anger towards the Nazi's. It shows you how terrible life was for people, Jews especially during WWII. I urge you to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Inspiring For Young Women
Review: This book is a very touching story about a young girl from the age of 13-15 and her family as they hid from the Nazi troupes up above her father's working building. They endured many difficulties such as robbers, police and many other dangers. Anne Frank tells about her true feelings and her feelings about people, difficulties and about how horrible war is. With an almost perfect sister, a mom that doesn't understand her, a dad that cares so much but can't find a way to truly help Anne with her difficulties, the family who hid with them with a crazy wife, a kind father but batty as well, and a shy 16 year old boy who later has Anne help him with his true feelings. When winter comes and there isn't enough food to go around, their helpers fall sick and can't bring them more food, clothes are too small, dirty and ripped, but someway they find a way to survive the winter.

This book has inspired me very much even though it was very sad. I think that it will help other young women. I highly recommend this book to other young women from the age of 10 to an adult. In my opinion this book will help young women in hard times and fearful places deep inside their hearts.

Summary: The Best Autobiography!
Review: My object was to find an autobiography for a class bookreport. In addition, I wanted something my ...daughter would get more than her monthly report out of.

I picked up this book after she was finished, not planning on reading the whole book, but I became hooked. This book offers real insight into the mind of a teen age girl during some real trying times. There is something about reading about it in her words, her expressions, emotions, etc. that make this historical time really stand out. It gives the reader a real understanding of what it must have felt like to live during this time.

If you want an autobiography with a life changing message, I would recomend this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great book that tells history!
Review: This book tells a great deal of feelings that help you relate back to that time to know what it was like to live then. Anne had strenghth to be able to have lived in the Secret Annexe with out your own room or anywhere to just get away from it all, but as you read you learn about the other side of Anne that is always hidden and know she hides her feelings by laughter. Anne learns to love, not be selfish, and hide feelings at a young age. I don't think anyone should have to do such a thing, but it all comes back to Hitler who was in the wrong proscuting all the Jews for no absolute reason. All in all I think this book tells you a little about Anne and how it was to be scared to be killed if found.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A timeless masterpiece
Review: This book is a moving, timeless masterpiece that will still be powerful a hundred years from now. The end of the book is very painful and sad to read, because most if not all who read it already know how the story ends - Anne's death.

Even though Anne's father Otto removed intensely personal information in Anne's diary prior to publication, the book is still a painfully personal read about a young girl's dreams, hopes and aspirations in the face of Nazi brutality.

This book should be required reading for every American high school student, no matter the school, public or private. Anne Frank serves as a tremendous account and testament to the human spirit, even in the worst of times. It's a must read for not only students of World War II, but every person - to fully appreciate what a blessing life is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: interesting and intiled
Review: The book was excellent it was about Ane Frank during the war or WW1 and she writes her experiences and feelings during the hidding. She tells us who she is with who she likes and a hole bunch more. If you were her age you would think she relates to you alot becuase she lets us know what she is thinking in her mind and she is just like you and I. I think every one who likes diarys would liek this book.... i reocmend it for every one who needs to learn more history...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good!!!
Review: This book is actually the diary of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living during WWI. She writes about love, her emotions, and what it is like living her life in hiding from the nazis. Finding who her true friends are and who is really "there" for her she describes everything that goes on in her life. Moving from place to place to escape from Hitlers wrath her family ends up in Holland in an old building, behind a secret bookcase that leads to her "Secret Annex". She lives in the "Secret Annex" for over three long years with one other family, and an old man. Telling her adventures in her hiding place she makes the reader feel as if they were there beside her. She falls in love with one of the people hiding with her and lives there happily with him for a long time. She describes herself as a "little bundle on contradictions" and a bit on the "cheeky" side. I find her very loving and sweet but on the outside she tries to hide her true feelings from mostly everyone. This noisy and annoying girl is really a shy teenager who wishes to be left in peace and feels as if no one understands her. Finding that everyone is there for her in her time of need she tries to enjoy the world around her. Figuring out the true meaning of life, she lives a short, yet happy one during this long war and lives peacefully until she is almost 15.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read. Better than Harry Potter.
Review: To start off I am 14 now and I read Anne's diary when I was 13. This book is indescribable. It changed my life, and always makes me find the good things in people. It is so inspiring. I really relate to Anne. She was amazing. She is my role model. I feel like I met her and that I really am "Kitty." To those of you who find the book terrible you deserve to go die in a hole. I cannot even begin to explain the impact that this book has made on me. I love this book more than any other book I have read. Anne was only my age when she wrote this life changing heartbreaking book. She will make you laugh out loud and cry. She displays the horrors of the Holocaust in depth with her personal experience. Anne Frank is my hero(iene). Read this. You won't forget (or regret) it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Quite Possibly The Worst Book Ever
Review: Lets just start out saying, if I could I would give this book 0 stars.

Recently, I had to read this book for school. Trying to get through this book was phisicaly painful. There is no plot what-so-ever. She just skips from one topic to another.

This book is so boring and dry, that the most intresting part might be when she talks about peeling potatos.

If I could I would burn all of the copies of this book, so people don't have to go through the hardships I did.

If you have at least one brain cell, you won't buy this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So much adulation but...
Review: Having had the misfortune of reading the book and skimming over some reviews i have arrived to a few blasphemous conclusions:

100 times better than harry potter? To do some simple math- harry potter is nothing, zero, drivel. When one multiplies harry potter by a hundred one still gets nothing, zero, but a hundred times the drivel!
The only value this book has is ...absolutely nothing but another opressed perspective which can be found among thousands of other diaries should one care to actually look.
Poignant? Not the least bit; it shouldn't be anyhow. Only reason this book is popular is because of the human adulation of cruelty and enjoying to see this cruelty. Obviously all the effeminate readers of this must fell not sympathy or empathy, but pity- the acme of the expression of cruelty.
She figures out the true meaning of life? Spare me the stupidity- there is no one true meaning, and anyone who thinks that there is, is an idiot.
Indestructible nature of human spirit? Destroy the human and what?- you have destroyed the spirit.
Yes, we should especially listen to those who cannot even properly spell- a profound "a"ffect on everyday life? Taking this drivel seriously is cardinal idiocy.
A gift to us? In what way? Surely the perspective of her, if we listen to an authority, Hegel, is worthless- it is far too subjective.
Shiver at the loss? Death is a necessary condition. Once you stop thinking of it as torture you might see it as liberation (not in the swinish Christian sense though).

Having read over the reviews I come to a conclusion: good material for a withdrawn, God-fearing, effeminate, sickly animal. I am sorry if I have damaged anyone'shigh strung sensitivity.

I slightly disagree: it deserves 1/100
