The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas

I wish I hadn't seen the film before reading the book, as I'm sure the harrowing ending would have been a real shock. Still, I found the book incredibly moving. I am unsure as to how much year 6 children would gain from the book, though I wouldn't necessarily be against it. I am interested to see which aged readership is considered appropriate by others.
