The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank book review

This book is one of those books that everyone reads over the time of their life. Even if I recommend it or not I have a feeling that you will read it anyway. This book is about a Jewish girl that lives in the time when Hitler was in power. The writing style is very interesting because it is actually a whole bunch of diary entries. You find out very early in the book that she starts to call her diary “Kitty”. She feels that her diary is her best friend and her friend deserves to have a name.
The plot in the beginning is how she always talks and is one of the more popular girls getting all the guys while her sister is the smart one and in the front of her class. Her family starts to store some of their items with their christen friends. Then her dad tells her that they have to go into hiding at they go into the attic at her dad’s work. There are a lot of christen friends in the work office so they get help. And they share the attic with the Vann Dan family. At the end Anne starts to go out with their son, Peter.
I would recommend this book to anyone in middle school or older. It is understandable but it has a very interesting writing style so some younger people might not understand this as much. I think this was a good book though. The ending was one of those endings that stick with you. It was actually one of my quotes for my dialectical journal. “I can’t keep that up: if I'm watched to the extent, I start by getting snappy, then unhappy, and finally I twist my heart around again, so that the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world.” That was a very good ending
There is an afterword which I think says that she dies in the internment camp. Her father is the only one that lives is her father after the internment camp. He soon dies after I think though. There is some tragedy in the actual book though like when she is talking about herself she is sad because she can’t do anything and lingers for the outside world.
Overall I would recommend this book to anyone in middle school or older. There is some sadness but it is a good book. It is a true story which makes its message all the more important. It also is good to learn what it was like to live in the times back then. I think that is a book that everyone is going to read this book in their lifetime though. Both my parents read it and same with my brother. So as a fellow classmate you should look through the first couple pages to see if it won’t kill you to read it and if it doesn’t you should give it a try.
