The Observer | Review | Kate Kellaway: The stuff of nightmares
Kate Kellaway is unsure how children will react to The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
after reading, I felt ambivalent. The Holocaust as a subject insists on respect, precludes criticism, prefers silence. It will be interesting to see what children make of it. One thing is clear: this book will not go gently into any good night.
