Friedrich is a acceptable young gent who spends most of his time
frolicing around Germany during World WarII. He is a pretty boy.
With an imageination of a young girl.I rate this book a sparkiling 4 stars proundly. If you are looking for a bookon a young boys dareing adventure this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a partial love story this is the book for you. Friedrich has a lot of things other books may not have. This is a book about a frindship with a Jewish boy and a non Jewish boy. It goes through the rights and wrongs of childhood, during the Houlocaust. You should read this bookish thing. This friendship falls through thick and thin, right and wrong. My friends of the world please trust this book it will do no harm to me nor you.

The book we read was a great work of art. Written by Hans Richter, he took a major part of his life and pasted it on a piece of paper. This story is about 2 families living in Germany before World War II. One of the families is Jewish; they are treated horribly by everyone in their town. Soon, later in the war, the other family turns into Nazis. The Jewish family stands strong and doesn't leave Germany they go through scenes of love, humor, action, suspense, and sorrow. On a rating scale from 0 to 5, 5 being the best and 0 worst the lowest, I would give it a 4 ½. I would recommend this book to young adults.

It was an interesting, exciting and emotional story. It takes place in Germany and tells about some things the Germans did to the Jewish people. You get attached to some of the characters and some you hate. I had many times during the book when I would burst out in tears because some parts were so sad and horrible the way people treated others. The story tells about two families and the drastic changes in their lives. It tells how they coped with the problems of money, job loss and much more. I would recommend sixth graders, at the youngest, and up to read this story.

Interesting subject: an insider's look at what it was to be a member of the Hitler Youth. Unfortunately, this short autobiography becomes too quickly muddled and difficult to follow, leaving the reader apathetic to the real drama and heartbreak of the story's reality. I suspect this has something to do with the translation to English...the author's account obviously deserves a better treatment than it's getting here. A much larger, but more gripping novel, is HITLER's LAST COURIER which tells of a boy drafted into military service at the end of the war.

This book took too long to read and it was confusing.

I read this and it did not really seem so great. The book is an autobiogrophy of the author when he was in the Hitler youth Movement. It tells what he and his friend Heinz and Gunther went through while they were in the movement. The author and Hienz are enthusiastic about the movement but Gunther seems to always struggle through and Gunther was pressured into joining the movement because his family was poor and he did not want it seem like he was different from all the other boys. I gave it 4 stars because I learned alot of stuff from the book. I learned that you could lose your respect from the Hitler movement by doing anything that disobeyed, even if you didn't do it on purpose you would still lose respect. I learned that If you were near a jew, you'd get hurt. And I learned in the movement that you were expected to do everything no matter what, even if you had to go somewhere with your family you stll had to do your duties. But the book itself wasn't good but it was okay. Usually with autobiogrophies, you would feel the way the author feels but the way Hans Peter Richter wrote the book, I did not feel the passion as he did. I would have given this 3 stars but because I learned alot stuff, I thought it deserved an extra star.

Fredrich
This book is all about a Jewish boy who is put through tourture just because he's a Jew.He has a very close friend the narrator who is not a Jew.The narrator tries and defends Fredrich from the anti Jews.In the novel there is alot of conflict.In the end i think it is a good book aiming to people at the age of 13+
