review

I got to know this book from a friend's suggestion. Being unfamiliar with the story and the ending, I feel like the diary is simply the rumblings of an ordinary teenage girl, who has some literature talent. The story itself is rather plain, probably because I'm not quite interested in the bashing of other people by Anne and her internal struggles. But my feelings did go down when they almost got caught and cheer up as the prosperous of the war becomes promising. In the end, I kind of rush through to see what their lives would be when they were liberated. And the result is a terrible blow. I can't imagine the huge psychology impact Anne and the rest of the family had when everything goes to end. They've been through so much, and yet at the very end, god has no mercy.

The diary would never have the same impact as now if the Anex were liberated, and it might even never got published, considering the insensible things Anne wrote about other people. And because of that so people can understand the crudity of the war, and the injustice to the Jews. May similar tragedy never happen again.
