I read it in 8th grade and thought it was amazing! I cried sooo hard gonk I then went home and rented the movie and watched it.. I cried even harder at that.. If only she knew her father was still alive! She would still be alive today.. The movie was even more emotional than the book because the book was only her diary. The movie, on the other hand, was her diary as well as what happened in the Concentration Camp as told by some people who were there. 3nodding
My father actually went out and bought me The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition, which was prepared by The Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation. I haven't had the chance to read it yet, but I've skimmed through it and it gives some history on WWII as well as the family. It then gives pages/ exerpts from the actual diary and then it goes on to translate the entire diary 3nodding I can't wait to read it, though I doubt I will until Summer xd It has 699 pages so It will take quite awhile to read it 3nodding

I read it over the course of two months (I put it down for a month) in the beginning of eighth grade. It struck me how Anne and I and so alike. I know it's really self-centered to say that, since I could know nothing of what she really and truly went through. I think that her diary was merely a window into her mind and how she truly felt, but we have yet to step though the door, indeed, to find the door. I find it difficult to believe that she would write down every little tiny thing she felt. No one does that. I think that are things that she just couldn't write down.
I was truly amazed at how she grew up so much in such a short time. I suppose that that is what happens when you live in war time. You have to grow up quickly and give up your childhood if you wish to survive. Her last entry just really struck me as ironic, because I remember her saying something about life and the people in life. I don't remember the exact wording or the exact concept, but I know how I felt when I read it. When I finished, I just sat there and thought for a minute about her life. Did she know that would be her last entry? Would she ever have guessed how much of an impact her diary would have on the world? Would it have made such an impact if she had lived? We'll never know, but we can always guess.
Hm...that seems a bit dramatic, what do you think? Sometimes I just get in the mood, and nothing can stop me. But is it too dramatic? Or does it fit? Oh, and have any guys ever voluntarily read it, since it deals with such feminine stuff?

This book is just so wonderfully ordinary for a young girl, filled with emotion and deep interest and concern for those around her. I will read it again when I am a lot older and see if my perspective on it changes.

Weirdly, I didn't like it much. I knew the story before hand, and I read it for a school report, so it wasn't great reading it. Plus she was a normal girl, which I didn't really relate to (I've never felt normal).
