There's something about the perspective of a child that brings an entirely fresh, sublte and straight forward take on a well trodden subject. The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is a fabulous example of this perspective used with menacing yet enchanting effectiveness. I can't say what the book's about as part of it's charm is your own journey through the clues of a child to dicifer the world he's living in but I reccomend this book to anyone who fancies a weighty subject told by a fresh and intrigueing voice. xc
