The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne, 218 pages

My kids had raved about this book and I had heard many other people talk about how amazing it was, so I finally picked it up. WORST BOOK EVER! Not because it was badly written, or anything like that, but because it totally pulled me in and then gut-punched me at the very end. I'm not going to go into plot details in case anyone else hasn't read it, but this is a book I won't soon forget.
