    This book is very heart-touching and is really good for kids. I think that the book is better than the Movie.

  6. I honestly loved this book and it would definitely be my all time favourite book!! This book is not for the feint hearted and certainly for older ones. It’s sooo sad and will leave you constantly gripping at the edge of your seat, every page. The ending is very sudden and shocking but the whole book is without doubt a book to read!!! Would recommend it to anyone xx

    A powerful book. It captivates your heart. The innocence of Bruno is just so- I can’t think of the word. It’s an extremely sad story and what really makes you think is that this was so possible and had happened. It’s very very sad. I wouldn’t recommend it for children under 12. We read the book in school and then we watched the film when we had finally finished the book – but I wish we hadn’t. The film is worse. For the last ten minutes, when everything suddenly ends, there was an uncomfortable silence in our classroom. We were all horrified – this had happened to so many people. It really makes you think. If you get emotional easily, I do not recommend this book – and definitely not the film. But, in spite of all that, it was a very well-written story that really makes you understand.

  10. Oh my goodness, this is such a dreadfully sad book! The innocence of the boy and the way he feels just penetrates your heart. It also made me ache inside… I did not love it: that is not the right word. It is too sad for that word. But I would give it 5 stars just because of the wonderous storyline. Please don’t try this book if you hate sad novels…I sat in a chair and cried! By Matilda
