Annen kirjoitukset ovat aitoja nuoren tytön ajatuksia. Hämmentävää kirjassa on se, miten saman tyylistä tekstiä olisi voinut kirjoittaa oman ikäiseni tyttö omina teinivuosina. Rehelliset kuvaukset ärtymyksestä, seksuaalisuudesta, kaipuusta, vapaudenhalusta, omasta tahdosta ja nuoreksi naiseksi kasvamisesta. 

Historian tämä kirja kuvaa rehellisesti, vaikkakin sota jää "pienelle" osalle päiväkirjamerkinnöissä. Se tekee mielestäni kirjasta niin kauniin. Kuinka arki jatkuu salaisessa siivessä vaikka sota myllää ympärillä. Kuinka ihastus kumpuaa vaikka ilmahälytykset soivat.

Kirjan loppu särkee erityisesti sydämen. Kun päiväkirjamerkinnät lähenevät 1944 elokuuta ja salaisen siiven paljastumista ilman, että Anne siitä tietää. Puheet toivosta ja elämästä sodan jälkeen kuuluvat vielä viimeisillä sivuilla.

I wish I had read this book as a teenager. As an adult, I still consider it an essential read, but this is the diary of a teenage girl, with all the moodiness, conflict, and curiosity that entails. Had I read it as a teenager, I feel like it would have resonated with me in a different way.

This was a highly educational and emotional book about the lives of 8 Jewish people in hiding during WW2. Though there were some parts that dragged on a bit, I cannot at all criticize them seeing as this is the diary of a teenage girl with no socialization outside of the 7 people she lived with. I understand what others say about Anne complaining a lot, but once again she was in a small place with 7 other people for two years, so she’s bound to complain. Overall this was sad and interesting.

I have read this book a few times, but not since I was a teenager and I forgot how raw and emotional and graphic and detailed this is. As I was reading this book I started to feel like I was 14 all over again, like we understood each other. And then there would be another mention of the outside world and I would remember the reality of her situation. 
I finished this at work so I had a hard time holding back my tears as I read the afterword. I try not to think about all the work Anne could have done with the years of her life that were stolen. Instead, it seems imperative to thank Anne's father Otto for having followed his daughters wishes and allowed the publication of her work.
"I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!"
