Tara, I’m going to have to stop saying that because I keep reading Holocaust fiction. I just finished The Boy in the Striped Pajamas last night and I could not stop crying. Maybe it’s too important to ever let go.

I’m so glad that I decided to give it a try; I was sucked in from the very start. I’m glad you enjoyed it; this story is amazing.

The fact that it was based on Hunter’s own family made it even more special. This is actually one of my favorite books this year. Glad you enjoyed it!
