PERFECT 5 STARS!!!

There are so many ways to describe how perfect this book is. The Diary of Anne Frank is a wonderful story and it will open your eyes about reality.

I've seen some reviews saying that her story is really fake and nothing's special about it.

SHUT!
YOUR!
FUCKING!
MOUTH!

How could people even hate on this book? It's very informative and her description of the war and the holocaust was on point. It's about a teenage girl who went into hiding with her family just to survive scarcity and war. Her diary was given during her 13th birthday and the contents were written in a span of 2 years. Anne Frank didn't write on her diary to get published in the future. She wrote on it to reflect on the holocaust. To kill boredom. To get through the miserable days, which is almost everyday since the war began. Their life in hiding was very tragic.

But one thing I learned about Anne Frank is that HOPE is the most important thing despite everything. Her crush, who's also in hiding with them, gave her hope to get through the day. Her family gave her hope and led her to believe to never give up because the war will end very soon. Unfortunately, her diary has to end in August 4, 1944 when their Secret Annex was raided and exposed in the outside world. Almost everyone in Anne's group died. Some were sent in concentration groups and were put in gas chambers (goosebumps). Anne and her sister, Margot, died due to a Typhus epidemic. Otto Frank was the only survivor and was the one who kept Anne's diary.. and was published around the 60's.

While reading this book, Anne Frank took a lot of turns with her diary entries. I was emotional, in the verge of tears, laughing, and fanboying over Anne and Peter Schiff. I recommend this to everyone in all ages. It will give you insights on what's reality.
