Helpful Score: 4
I enjoyed this book, but don't expect it to be AS informative as other "historical fiction", though you do find out some interesting tidbits about the frank family themselves. It focuses very closely on the narrarator's (Peter VanDamme in the Anne Frank Diary) acceptance of what had happened to him and his personal history from his now mid-life perspective.
The book is a very quick read. I give it an average rating, having found neither the writing nor the story to be anything extra ordinary. I expected it to be a retelling of the Anne Frank annex story from the perspective of Peter, which it is NOT - again it is much more a tale of someone who suffers from all the classic symptoms of Post traumatic Stress syndrome - very similar to the type of psychological drama you would read in post-war narratives.
