This book wasn't for me. I knew that going into it, and wouldn't have touched it if it wasn't for work. We teach this book to our Y7 class because it's from the perspective of a child. For that I suppose it works, you very clearly get the perspective of this young character. What you also get alongside that however, is the fact it's truly irritating, only for this to be doubled later when meeting the even more irritating Zelda. I'll admit it got a chuckle or two out of me due to the innocence/childish ignorance of the protagonist. The worst crime of this book is that it quite simply, is boring. Along Felix's journey things kind of just happen without much to them, maybe in a way that a child would experience them, or maybe it was simply how boring the book was. I will admit, I am biased against this book to begin with, I don't care for stories of WW2, the holocaust, or even from the perspective of children. I am not sure however, how far these biases have gone to affecting my reading of this book or if it really is just that dull.
