### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simple but uniquely powerful tale of the tragedy of the Holocaust
*by D***D on August 7, 2017*

John Boyne is a gifted and sensitive writer who knows how to construct a story to great effect. This book and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas use the background of the Holocaust to tell an immensely moving tragic story. His verbal inventiveness adds brilliant touches. The boys speak of "the fury" and "out-with" because they cannot pronounce "the Führer" and the name of the extermination camp Auschwitz. It's minor but effective device. I first became aware of these stories when I saw the film production of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Spoiler: I was moved to tears by the plot. One of the boys is Jewish, the other a Gentile. The twist is this: the Gentile boy is the beloved son of the Commandant of Auschwitz, and the boy innocently follows his Jewish friend into the gas chamber where they both perish. The implied grief of the Commandant and his wife is supreme irony in that they are compelled to share the grief of all the families whose loved ones were lost in Auschwitz.The Boy at the Top of the MountainThe Boy at the Top of the Mountain

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great story from the pen of John Boyne
*by S***T on May 2, 2019*

Not the easiest of subjects to write about but it comes across for what it is. I would not choose even a novel, which has Hitler as a principal character of the story yet this does work. There are parts that stretch the imagination and I found myself Googling Hitler's lair, the Berghof to learn more, so from that perspective I have been introduced to a part of history that I previously did not know about. Watching sweet, kind, gentle Pierrot morph into the fanatical Nazi, Pieter that he becomes was wholly credible. I have not yet read a John Boyne I have not enjoyed, this is no exception.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ powerful
*by M***Z on January 12, 2025*
