Well it just finished like, difficult to explain. Think it just came to it's natural end. That's what I gleaned from it anyway.
No, it's an adult book. My wife's read it I watched that. Didn't he have a massive arse? Made him more convincing as a tranny.
Nah, it's a kids' book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_in_the_Striped_Pyjamas Doesn't mean adults can't read it, though (same goes for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) I normally avoid wartime books but I'm currently reading Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada - a really brave work written in wartime Germany about a man's attempted resistance of the state after the death of his son. ****ting myself every couple of pages
Not that it matters, but where does it say it's a kids' book? I didn't think The Curious Incident was a kids' book either. I know they're both written from the perspective of a child, but still...

Retrieved 2007-02-23. Not that it matters - my kids want to see the end of the film and I'll let them see it tonight or tomorrow. Personalising tragedies where the numbers are so massive as to be incomprehensible is probably the most affecting way to learn things. At the end of the Anne Frank serialisation, the older kids wondered why I was greeting like a baby - this might show them.
Would you like chips with that ? Yes, I know it doesn't make sense - but then, neither does your reply to a mature conversation.
One is nearly twelve and in high school and one is nine. The youngest is less than a year (hasn't expressed a historical interest in anything yet ) I dunno - they want to watch it and a couple of the eldest ones' pals have seen it. **** it - they watch ****e about vampires all the time. Even if this is distressing, they'll gain more from it than being de-sensitised and trained to be turned on at the sign of blood.
Nowt wrong with that, I read To Kill A Mockingbird when I was about 10, and that's got some pretty adult themes in it.
