The End, the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The end of the book literally made me feel sick. They are all so innocent! Now I understand why they chose to tell the story from the child's perspective. Bruno sees how it is, without knowing or understanding the real truth. But, the story is told in such a way that we know what is actually going on. Like how Out-With is Auschwitz and it somehow gives the story a much greater impact than if it were just told to us with a complete explanation of what is going on. Despite how annoying Bruno was in the beginning, he was an honest boy and only meant well. I don't really know how to describe my emotions, it was so hard-hitting! I really liked the book. It was very slow in the beginning, but definitely worth it when the end comes. I only wish I had more patience.
