The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

I have seen the film and found it really disturbing but the book is even more tragic.
The last few chapters filled me with dread as I knew the fate of Bruno.
When he held his friends hand in the gas chamber and said he was his best friend it was so moving.
I found the contrast of what Bruno thought the camp was going to be like compared to what it was in reality interesting. I think the book would only be suitable for year 6 onwards.
