![]() ![]() Father wears a “fantastic uniform” and has an “important job.” Bruno misses his friends. ![]() ![]() Somebody named the “Fury” has come to dinner and believes Bruno’s father is destined for greatness. Intrigued? Imagine the naïve but sincere 12-year-old with a smattering of Holocaust education as he reads about how young Bruno’s family moves from their comfortable home in Berlin to a rather desolate place that Bruno thinks is called “Out- With”. We hope you never have to encounter such a fence.” Fences like this exist all over the world. If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno.… And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. The book flap states, “We think it is important that you start to read this book without knowing what it is about. It is for this reason that the novel should be successful among young adult readers. If I review this book, I will have to tell you what it is about, and the point of the whole experience, the publisher will say, is to come to the slow realization of where the action is taking place, and thus feel the horror as it all dawns on you with various “a‑ha” moments. I would like to write a review of this unusual book, but the publisher doesn’t want me to. ![]()
