This book was a little bit overrated in my opinion. I was sad but i didnt bawl like i expected . I am going to read the ending again but what can i say this must have been difficult to write and i give the author credit for that :)

The book was honestly just stupid. It was historically unrealistic and poorly planned; it felt like the author just wrote without regard for the next event. Bruno mistook German words for English words even though he didn’t speak English(?), and he read as much younger and more stupid than he should’ve been. I am bitter about wasting my time on the book.
Moderate: Slavery and Antisemitism
Minor: Death, Police brutality, Genocide, Child abuse, Confinement, and Racism
