A very unique gem, easy enough for anybody any age who understands the darkness of WWII, to pick up, read and process. Unique view of the holocaust through an innocent boy's mind. Gave me a lot to think about. A simple yet very impactful read till the very end. Loved it. The movie was pretty good too actually, but i would recommend the book more as it gives you more room to interpret things in ways you believe it means. The movie may have missed some (since it's only so long) but still, the movie is good too nonetheless.
