My impressions after reading these books

 

The most interesting novel for me was “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". This book made a great impression on me

 

I recommend to read this book to both children and adults, because it carries a very strong message that should be heard by as many people as possible

Let's take a little quiz!

 

1. Immediately after its release, “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" was nominated for many awards, as it was able to impress both ordinary readers and critics. What is its special feature?
   
   
2. Why can't any of the three books have a happy ending?
   
   
3. Books are useful and interesting to read, so why do many people do not want to read and prefer other activities?

Answers

 

1. The main feature is that the horrors of the Holocaust are shown through the eyes of a child who absolutely does not understand why people are so cruel
   
   
2. All three books are about war, and its consequences are never good
   
   
3. Perhaps because people can't find a genre they like, so they think books aren't interesting
