The Diary of Anne Frank and Related Readings (Literature Connections) (McDougal Littell Literature Connections)

Didn’t realize this is the Play. Not the book reading form.

Great book of course. I needed it for my English class, but I don’t wanna talk about the book. Great quality! They sent me the book met my expectation. No pen/pencil/highlight mark. I’ll make make deals again with them if possible

Worked well as a class read book for middle school but leaves out too much pertinent information.

Excelente

I bought a very good quality used copy, but should have looked much more closely. This is the PLAY, not the novel!

This is a great edition of the play that includes essays that help to build background knowledge. I would reccomend this book wholeheartedly.

Anyone who hates this play has no soul. Anne Frank's poignant - AND ABSOLUTELY TRUE - tale serves not only as a tragic tribute to the horrors of the holocaust, but also as a testament to the heroics of an ordinary heart in the midst of unfathomable injustice. Anne Frank's hope and bravery are beautifully memorialized in these pages; this is something everyone should read. Those who shirk from the play simply because they wish to shield their naive minds from such an unpleasant subject (and a decidedly unhappy ending) do themselves and the rest of humanity a great disservice, for if we do push this book to the back of our minds and our libraries, we lose its message, we lose whatever chance we may've had to reexamine our world through the eyes of Anne Frank and lighten the darkness of man's heart with her courage. To read this play is to become enlightened and to be inspired, and with all the animosity and intolerance in our world today, we could all use a little more of Anne's spirit of acceptance.

I had to read this book for college, and I really recommend it to people. This play has a realism about it that really opens your eyes to the suffering of those in hiding during WWII. However, what I really liked were the essays in the back, especially the story of one young gypsy man, a group whose story does not get told very often. Overall, I like this book and would recommend it to anyone.
