Diary of a Young Girl is a “must-read.” For readers expecting a traditional plot, it may come as a disappointment. The book is overall very loosely structured (it’s a diary after all) and could be slow at times. I overall liked this book…

I'm glad I finally read Anne's diary from the annex. After reading a memoir written by her friend, I was compelled to read Anne's story. Her diary is brutally honest, exposing everything from trivial to complex and mature ideas - often…

I finally read this and it was profound. So much to relate to in Anne's struggles in hiding, with her family and her maturing views on life. Anne Frank truly was wise and accomplished beyond her brief time on this earth. I wish I'd read…

I have never been a fan of non-fiction much, but this book has helped change my mind. Anne Frank lived what seemed like a normal life in Amsterdam, until the Nazis invade it. Because Anne and her family are Jewish, they are forced to go…

Many appreciate this book for its historical value and look into the mind of a smart, offbeat girl in the time of World War 2, but I have to admit I also appreciated it from a purely literary standpoint. Anne Frank has a beautiful, keen…

Of course I loved reading this, so well written and really gave a good sense of how difficult being hidden for so long. The pictures showing the housing diagram and of some of the people really added to it too. She was a very inspective…

This book was on my list since I was about six, and I waited for a long time until I was old enough to read it. One thing that I love about his book is that it really make you realize that all the numbers of Jews who died in WWII were…

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This quote by Anne Frank had a profound influence on me when I first read it. How could anyone go through what Anne did and still believe in people’s goodness?…

I never felt so happy, sad, and angry because of what happened to Anne and her family because of the German Nazis. I am also surprised that she hasn't talked to her real friends besides her imagination friend named Kitty (aka that is how…

I read this aloud with my teens. This version contains 30% more material (from back cover). There are a number of negative, perhaps disrespectful, entries regarding her mother and others describing making out with a boy also living in…

Anne Frank's words still haunt many years after WWII. As a young Jewish girl in hiding from the Nazis during the later years of the war, she tells of her life and those hiding with her so very poignantly.

I was loathe to put this book down. I am saddened that this is the only work of Anne Frank we shall ever see. She should have had the chance to become a journalist and write novels as she wanted to-- with her inquisitive mind and strong…
