"This book is nothing less than amazing. Toward the end it gets a little bit boring, but Anne couldn't help that. I love the wit and humor that Anne brings into the dull life at the hiding place. She is really a wonderful role model for teens. Good for ages 12 to 13 and up. ( any one younger would most likely be bored. But Teens and adults can identify with Anne's hardship of growing up.)"

"I enjoyed the movie much more than the book. I watched to movie before I read the book thinking that it would be a great read. But there again the movie didn't follow the book entirely. It is a wonderful piece of writing, but the story shocked me. As a Christian I didn't like the fact that Lesie was worshiping the trees/forests. While at the same time they were going to church and talking about how God would send people to to H*** if they did believe in the Bible. Over all a nice book, but from another point of view, ( Say a Mother's, or Christian's) it falls short of brilliant. I'm not a mother, but I am a Christian and I don't really think this book is The Best I've ever read."

"I really enjoy the Everything books. They really do cover everything without getting too deep but yet they also give just enough information at the same time. The Classical Mythology book is a great book!"

"Not a book I would recommend. I couldn't get past page 27. I try to give every book I read the benefit of the doubt and read to page 100. This one I just couldn't stick with it. It gave me a headache trying to understand her style of writing. Voskamp's style of writing is choppy and uses way too many adjectives. I am sorry I wasted $5.00 on this book."

"A very good book for younger readers. (3rd grade and up? Maybe 2nd graders depending on what the mother wants.) It tells the story, but with out the nightmare details. Very good pictures. It does say that Anna and her family died ( But what else can you say. They didn't live so...) But it doesn't go in to detail of how they died. A wonderful book all around."

"A very good book, but it left me wanting more. It was very well done, Barbara Williams is a very good author. But this book didn't satify me."
