The Boy in Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

I've seen the film but remembered very little about to the extent that somehow the ending came as a surprise to me. I'm really pleased that I was 'made' to read this book, as I don't think I'd have ever read it otherwise. In some ways it's such a simple book but it reminded me never to forget the horrors of war and the concentration camps. Reading it has challenged me to read more fiction, and perhaps non-fiction, about world events, so that I don't forget how fortunate I am.
