Haunting submitted by Lmd3577 on July 6, 2018, 2:32am This is truly a very haunting book. This book is actually a diary that reads quite fast but is very vivid in its imagery with the words Anne choose to use. This book stays with you long after you read it. I absolutely recommend this book it is one of the most haunting and vivid imergy ever read and it stays with you long after you read it.

A favorite submitted by crp on August 30, 2019, 12:51am This is one of my favorite narratives of all time. It is sad but eye opening story of a young girl during the Holocaust who would create words that live on to this day.

Well Written submitted by Sa05k on August 6, 2020, 1:33pm Even for a young girl, she was a very good writer. You can tel how much time is passing and how it’s effecting her mental health based on what she writes.

More readable than I expected submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 18, 2021, 9:12pm A classic I've meant to read for years. Yet despite its status, I was surprised how good it actually was. Who'da thunk that a 14 year old girl stuck inside a tiny apartment with 7 others for two entire years could actually be so interesting and entertaining. There's nothing to do but ache for the world's loss that this amazing young woman didn't survive the war.

So heartwarming. submitted by graytabby on August 2, 2021, 7:16am The story is sad, but for tweens and teens alike, it's a must-read.
