It was great to have John Boyne visit even though he came late (not his fault). He answered my question as well as questions that I didn't think of, and didn't know the answer to! Many people in my school are reading the book and have enjoyed it, too. It is suitable for everyone.
He had the coolest accent. I think he did an excellent job writing a book like that and being able to know all the history behind it though he had no background in any of the Holocaust. This book is a great way to ease into the truths and horrors of the Holocaust. I think that adults would like it too. He answered the questions very well and in a way I would have never of thought of. Overall he was great.
This was an amazing book! It was beautifuly written. Even though I cried at parts, it is still great!
