Summary: I love Anne Frank!
Review: I'm glad someone decided to provide an uncensored version of Anne Frank's diary in English. This book contains English translations of three versions of Anne Frank's diaries, printed in such a way as to make it easier to compare them than if they had been printed back to back or in separate volumes. One version is Anne's fictionalized version. One is the, censored version as it was introduced to the Puritanical United States. The unabridged version is excellent, but not for prudes. Anne Frank was apparently bisexual, as well as a young woman of great intellect, insight and literary talent! I was amazed at how well I was able to relate to her, even though she was of another gender, born into a different race, raised on a different continent (Europe), about a quarter of a century before me! Thanks to this book, I fell in love with her!

Summary: The Best Book
Review: I, myself, love Anneliese Marie Frank and everything about her. She is just so wonderful! I think almost everyone has heard of her or knows who she is, but, this book just emphasizes everything so marvelous about her. It pretty much has a biography on the whole family. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and advise anyone that comes across this to purchase the book, read, and don't take your eyes offof it until you're through!

Summary: The Best Book in the world
Review: I, myself, love Anneliese Marie Frank, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. Most people already know who Anne Frank is and know how great she is, but, this book emphasizes everything so marvelous about her. It talks about how the Frank family came together, and how they came about, with biographies on the family. It tells about their lives and how they moved from place to place when the laws got too harsh for the Jewish. I love this book and encourage anyone that comes across this to purchase it, read it, and not to take your eyes off of it until you're through with it.

Summary: Anne's diary is wonderful.Reading it is unforgettable.
Review: This book is something that is absolutely wonderful, and life changing. It is so because of its author- a teen-age Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis from 1942 to 1945. Reading this allows you to feel what she was feeling, expeirience what she experienced. And all of it is true. It all happened, and the diary allows you to know Anne Frank, in a sence. Her thoughts and ideas were real, and they remain to be because of the diary. Anne goes on, and reading what she went through will change your life.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for anyone interested in Anne Frank
Review: This edition of the famous diary of Anne Frank is unlike any other. Subtitled "The Critical Edition" it includes not only the published version in the translation by Mrs. B. M. Mooyaart-Doubleday, but also everything that was withheld -- at the request of Anne's father -- from the original published version.

While in hiding, Anne heard on a radio broadcast that after the war the Dutch government wanted to collect memoirs and diaries of citizens' wartime experiences. Anne decided to start a revision of her diary, clarifying certain passages and adding in more detail, while deleting items that she deemed unimportant or too personal (Anne wrote very candidly about her own sexuality). The critical edition of her diary includes Anne's first diary, her revisions, and the final, published version.

In addition, this volume contains exhaustively researched sections on the arrest and betrayal of the members of the "Secret Annex," the publishing history of the diary, an account of the creation of the play version, a chronicle of the attacks made on the diary's authenticity, and an incredibly meticulous handwriting analysis comparing letters known to have been written by Anne with excerpts from the diary itself.

I first read "The Diary of Anne Frank" when I was thirteen years old. I reread it about every three or four years and it speaks to me on a new level every time. It has become my all-time favorite book. With this beautiful edition, I am once again disovering this amazing document and this remarkable child.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much more than the hot-shot literary critics say
Review: This is honest, wise, compassionate, human, and most of all accessible. This is a classic, and (I know I will face disagreements) great literature. The new translation and added sections make this book even easier to read, much more thought-provoking, much deeper, much more brilliant.

To get the most out of this experience, you must treat Anne Frank as a mature human being and not a child. She experienced much more pain than most literary critics and intellectual hot-shots, and she is wiser than we give her credit for.
