__The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.__

 To start off with, now-a days it seems that everybody gets along just great, no matter what race or type of ethnic group they are part of. But it was not always this way, especially in the 1940s during the holocaust era. There are many books that have this event as their subject, but __The Boy In The Striped Pajamas__  by, John Boyne has been my favorite so far. I strongly recommend this book to everybody not only because it is a spectacular book but it will teach them a valuable life lesson of true friendship and determination.

 In addition, this amazing book is about a nine year old boy named Bruno who is as felicitous as can be. Until one day after school when Bruno comes home to find the family maid packing up all of his belongings. It turns out that Bruno’s dad (a government worker for the Nazis) is being relocated to a Jewish concentration camp. While at the concentration camp, well lets just say that Bruno finds a friend that he is not supposed to be friends with. This plot makes the book worthwhile to read because it shows what life was like back in those horrible times. That is why this plot makes this book worthwhile to read and a great story.

 Without a doubt this story has an extraordinary plot, but it is also the characters that shape out this outstanding book. The characters in this book are really unique, I bet you could tell this just from their names (Bruno and Shmuel). The characters (Bruno and Shmuel) are two nine year old boys that are complete opposite people who no matter how much they have in common they should never be communicating with each other. Why is this such a big deal you may ask, you don’t know yet but Bruno is in a Nazi family while Shmuel is Jewish and lives in the concentration camp. These characters make the book worthwhile to read because they are of course such dissimilar people and shouldn’t be around each other. But while reading, you can see how they overcome this obstacle.

 Furthermore The theme of this book also makes it a great book. The theme that I picked up from reading this book is that true friendship and determination conquers all. This is the theme of this book because in the book, Bruno and Shmuel meet each other outside everyday and in the end you will definitely see what I mean by this. This great theme makes the book worthwhile to read because of how inspirational it is. Everybody in their life has friends but this book shows what real friendship is all about. That is another great reason why you should read this outstanding book.

 Undoubtedly, you should read this book for all of the reasons in the paragraphs above. Now we definitely know why you should read __The Boy In The Striped Pajamas__ . So don’t hesitate, go read this great book.
