Status Updates From The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

john boyne has nailed the child narrator narrative voice - the repetition of learned phrases and rules and mistranslations like “Out-With”, even the simple misinterpretation of the salute - the childish innocence and obliviousness is quite heartbreaking

from the second i read Out-With i was convinced it was actually Auschwitz and you cannot tell me i’m wrong, Fury is also Fuhrer

it is so good i’m interested in ww2 and wars in general (not in a weird way) but it’s just so odd
