I read it and I liked it. Some people don't like it much, though. If you read it, you might find some scenes a bit annoying. lol...
lol I didn't think I would like it...I put it off for a really long time too...it just seemed so...cliche? I don't knowbut I actually really liked it!
I don't know if it helps but here's my 2 cents :D

I am dying to read this book.. The cover looks so awesome ... so are the ratings!
Is this book really awesome?

I was going to read that too. I have the book but I haven't actually read it went. Let's read it together!
I was thinking of reading Divergent by veronica Tory but I'm hesitating becuase the synopsis sounds a lot like the hunger games. is this book similar to the hunger games or totally different?
p.s. I loved the hunger games

It does sound like Hunger Games however, I liked Divergent a whole lot more than Hunger Games and they really aren't similar except they're Dystopian. Definitely give it a go!

How this book? I read the first one..And didnt like it that much...!"
I quite enjoyed the books after Breathe in the Sea Breeze series. Because of Low was one of the better ones. Naturally, in Abbi Glines style they all have happy endings.
I like science fiction. I do not like the books of love, love, love. Never read Twilight (and I have no intention of doing so). The trailer for "The Host" I liked it, so I thought I'd give the book a chance. Should I?
I haven't read it yet, so I am not sure. But it is a pretty big book and I've heard it is pretty good.
It can be slow moving, but Meyer's story themes work better in an alien genre than in a vampire genre. You'll love the way Melanie talks to Wanderer, I think. It's much better than the twilight books!

LOL!

I wouldn't liken it to the hunger games, more Delirium or the Matched series. Although they're all distopian, Delirium and Matched have more of a brain-washing element, whereas hunger games it's pretty out in the open for everyone as to why the society is what it is. The other three trilogy's deal with the discovery of government secrets and how that leads to an uprising.

"Loved it! I read it awhile ago. It was sweet. Well sweet enough for a book based on holocaust.

I loved The Hunger games. And Divergent is really good too. I think the dystopia part of "The hunger Games" is better, but I liked more the love part of "Divergent".
has anyone read
?I'm in love with this cover and I can't get the book from my library, so I'd have to buy it...
I have! out of all the holocaust books, I thought that one was very very powerful.I would recommend it.
no, it's a great story - told from a very different perspective.the ending is shocking. so try not to read any reviews that give away the end.
it's part of the point of the story.

I saw the movie...have wanted to read the book for the longest time but haven't gotten around to it. Once you finish let me know your thoughts on it:D
Ok I finished the book. It was reallly good and was heart breaking. But i do not understand it. I have read the ending a few times but still do not understand it. Could you please explain this those who have read the boy in striped Pajamas.
the ending....(view spoiler)
does that help? let me know if you have any other questions!
I'm glad you liked it!
