The Devil in Vienna

Summary: its okay
Review: At first this book is boring but then towards the end it gets pretty good. I liked it a lot. It tells the story of Inge and her life during the holocaust time. And how difficult it is to keep her friendship with her best friend Lisselote. Whose father is a Nazi. Close ones are leaving and going through hard times. THis is a wonderful and exciting story! It may seem boring at the beginning but believe me it gets better! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books about the holocaust, WW 2 or anything similar to that.

Summary: Best Friends Stick Together!
Review: Hi, Girls! This was my FAVORITE book when I was a kid. I am now 34, and I recently found my old copy of it. I started reading, and couldn't put it down, even though I read it several times when I was younger and still remembered every detail.

If you've ever had a best friend move away, or had a friend that your parents didn't like, you'll be able to relate to the "Blood-Sister" heroines, Lieslotte and Inge. If you're curious about the life of ordinary girls during the Nazi era, this book will fascinate you.

The book is MUCH better than the movie adaptation, "A Friendship In Vienna," which left out the most interesting part of the story: Lieslotte's experiences after she moved to Germany. Imagine going to a school where you have FIVE hours of Gym, every day!

Summary: ENTHRALLING !!
Review: I am an avid fan of anything on World War II, so when I found this book it was like hitting the jackpot. This is the book that the movie "Friendship in Vienna" was based on. The movie is wonderful, the book even more so. It is about two girls, one Jewish, one Christian, in Vienna just as it is being taken over by Hitler. The Christian girl's father is a big part of the SS. Their friendship struggles to survive in the midst of a world that is being torn apart.

Summary: Interview With History
Review: I would have to say that Doris Orgel's book Devil In Vienna is one of my most treasured books. The story is so magnificent that I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. There is also a Disney movie called a Friendship in Vienna that is based on the book, I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it for viewing also. I felt that the connection between the two girls even in the darkest of time, is what friendship is really about and that's what everyone should look for in a true friend. I would like to recommend this book to any person of any age, for I didn't read it until my late teens and even at that age I felt that it was an excellent book.

Summary: Interesting Book
Review: The Devil in Vienna by Doris Orgel is a very good book. The main character is 13-year-old Inge Dornenwald, who lives in Vienna, Austria, in 1938. Inge is Jewish. However, Inge's best friend, Lieselotte Vessely, is not Jewish. The two girls have been best friends since they were in first grade, and they plan to be best friends forever. But then Lieselotte moves to Germany. Her father and older brother are Nazis and they forbid her to continue her friendship with Inge. Inge's parents also say that she shouldn't be friends with Leiselotte, since her father is a Nazi. But Inge and Lieselotte remain friends. After all, they are best friends, and even blood sisters. They will do everything they can to struggle against the Devil in Vienna to remain best friends forever. This book, written in diary form, was very interesting. It not only tells about what life was like for the Jews during World War 2, but also anti-Nazis and even some Nazis. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read about World War 2.

Summary: gret story for kids!
Review: Until now, I, along with most of the people I know, thought that WWII only affected the Jewish population, it affected the
Germans as well. For me, the beginning of the book was a bit slow going, but once I got into it a little farther, I found out that it
was a great book with a wonderful moral. These two little girls, one a Jew, one Nazi-German, managed to retain a beautiful
friendship despite hundreds of miles and social bounderies between them. I would recommend it to anyone, especially kids!
