The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
As the author, John Boyne, states on the back of the book - i'm not going to tell you what the book is about. The book is written from a childs perspective and is massively moving, mainly due to the childs innocence.
An excellently written book and i can highly recommend it.Unless provoked, never get your knob out in church.

Re: The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
I read this book a couple of months ago and I'd strongly recommend it. A book that, I believe, should be introduced to schools.
Don't sit on the fence, it will jag your arrse.
Dougal: Oho, Ted, the Italians know about football, all right. And fashion. God Ted, do you remember that man who was so good at fashion, they had to shoot him?

Re: The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Great book - would recommend it to anyone still in doubt. Herself read it for book club and passed it on - think she found it quite profound.

Re: The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Picked this book up in a train station in Dublin last year as something to read on the train. Really good book and quite moving. I think I read it all on the 3hr train ride.
At the speed of a thousand gazelles!

About the thing her father said.
About her baby.
When she was done, I knew a lot of men would have to die.
