The Diary of a Young Girl
By Anne Frank
3/5 Stars


During World War 2, the Nazi's in started rounding up Jewish people in Amsterdam. Anne's family was one of the ones targeted, so their father devised a plan to hide in a secret annex until the war was over. Anne was thirteen when she went into the annex and brought her diary with her, which was lucky enough to survive the war and be published by her father afterward. Anne may be gone, but this diary serves as a wonderful historical record as well as a grim reminder of just all the innocent lives taken by the Nazi party. 

This book is hard to read in the middle because she's just waiting to either be discovered or for the war to end. The afterword, in my opinion, is amazing, because it discusses everything that happened after they were discovered, including a chilling account from the last person to see Anne alive. The book is so full of emotion because this young girl is trying to process all that is happening. I started crying when she described praying night and day that her friends were safe. Overall, the book was good but not something I found amazing and eye-opening, so I must give it three out of five stars. 

Thanks for reading another review! I hope you enjoyed and come back Monday for my review of Make Up: Your life guide to beauty, style, and success, online and off. by Michelle Phan.
