Lovely and Tragic
it was very interesting
It was a great book to read, very eye opening and it was great to look into her eyes.
I enjoyed this book and found it really interesting
Beautifully written, very inspiring. takes us back to those times
It talks about Anne Frank's life and what happened. It was very inspecting and non-fiction
This book is all about world war 2 and Anne’s mother and father get killed and she has to move countries from Germany to Australia. There are sad parts but there is a happy ending.
I love diaries and this one is really good
I liked the part where it was Anne Frank s birthday
I love diaries and this was a really good one
She was brave
TElls quit alot about history
It's all about Anne Frank and her story and I really like it.
this book is good because it tells you all about the past but it is really good book
A sad story about a family who had to hide away with another family during world war II
I thought it was a really good book. A little bit sad, but I loved it. It was really interesting to find out what the Nazis did to the Jews.
I found it interesting as I like learning about world war two but the home life. I liked it because it felt like Anne was talking to me
its a sad story that she died the age 16
This book was written in a formal way as Anne talked about her life in hiding and the poor conditions they were in.It really made me think about my life and makes people who read this book grateful for what they have.
I think both boys and girls would enjoy this book but it is best for people who like reading long books about history.
It was a great book I read it twice. It was sad at times but inspiring
I liked this interesting book because there were so many new words to learn and I like how I'm reading an actual diary of a real person. I would recommend this lovely book to older readers, but you can read this book at any age if you want to give yourself a challenge. (I actually read the book that wasn't abridged)

very interesting and historical.
Quite interesting and I say it is mostly based for ages 10+.
A harrowing tale of survival What a master piece which enables the dark truth to stay alive and educate at the same time.
Lovely seeing what people used to do and how they survived the war.
It was good but I would have liked to know more.
It interested me because I would topic as world war II and we were reading a book about her and I wanted to know more.
Again I would recommend it.
I like this diary because it helps me learn about ww2 and it has lots of feelings which helps me understand how it is like, my favourite character would be the cat because it is very cute, this book interested me because i have never read a ww2 book before, i would recommend it to someone who wants to learn about ww2
This book is about a girl who goes into hiding because she did not want to go to a concentration camp
very interesting story but it's not really my type of book to read
Fantastic but sad book that will stay with me forever.
