Berlin 1942

When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance.

But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

Couldn't put it down
by Chantale Labine

I actually saw the movie first. I'm not much of a book reader, i'll be honest but i loved the movie so much when i saw the book i just HAD to read it ( cause it's suppose to be better then the movie, right?). I will say the story was better in the book but i enjoyed the ending better in the movie. I have a new born baby so i don't have alot of time however, i finished this book within a day it was so good and well written. I think i just might read it again ...
