it pisses me off that teachers are STILL assigning this fucking book to their students. every time a kid at my workplace tells me they're reading it for their english class it makes me want to scream!!! it's important to teach about the holocaust and you can't do that by using a book where the author has done NONE of the proper research required for such a topic. this should have never been published.
Reread 2020: had to reread The boy in the striped pajamas for school. It's a book with such a powerful message.
I hate reading a whole book only for the last pages to be even remotely good. and just because its in the pov of a nine year old boy, does not excuse the kiddish writing. ahem the kite runner?
I fail to believe that the son of a high ranking officer in the SS would not know that his country was at war, that the 3rd reich hated Jews, have such glaring problems pronouncing words in his own language. I could go on. The story was moving, this I cannot deny.
There is an absolute wealth of good WW2 lit for kids, this is not it. Why was this adapted for film?
