I agree with you Carol. I love that fact that we know more than the young boy. As you have not finished it, I will not ruin the ending for you even though I am sure most people have tried!
I do, however, have to disagree with you in being reluctant to read it because of it being emotional as I love books that allow me to explore emotions through a 'safe way'. For example, not pointing out explicitly what happened at the end but leaving me to imagine or presume what happened based on my own experiences or knowledge of the Nazis regime.
Furthermore, the boy in the striped pyjamas is in fact one of my favourite books and I had actually read it before and watched the film so Carol I recommend you to finish it!

Sorry Cherise, I have to agree with Sue! I was dreading reading this book, this is due to difficult circumstances in my personal life.
I know this is a passionate and moving story and I understand the importance of the plot due to the real life context.
Just difficult to read such an upsetting story!
