The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

This book makes you stop and wonder about the fences that divide us. Bruno, in his innocence, did not understand that the fence was there to keep his world separate from the world on the other side. He only understood it as a fence that he needed to cross. In the act of removing his clothes and putting on the striped pyjamas before crossing the fence, he was identifying with the people on the other side. How many of us are prepared to cross over fences - cultural, political and social divides - and walk in the shoes of our fellow men?

Couldn't remember if we had to blog about this book too or not (I know we are discussing it Friday too in our Inset!) so decided I'd do both haha

So far really enjoying B.C.- gripped me from the beginning and can't put it down.  Although it is hard reading about the hunger strikes
