It almost feels inappropriate to give this book a rating; particularly with the simple "Anne's Diary Ends Here" denoting her family being captured by the Gestapo and her subsequent tragic death, but it is simply phenomenal. Frank is obviously not a professional writer, and hence there are stylistic issues I'd be more critical of if she was, but she has a vivacity that still shines through even when she is ranting about the other occupiers. Deducting a .25 star for the editing out of her bicuriosity, as it could've been such a useful resource for modern day people, seeing such a famous teenager experiencing the same as them. A must read for anyone.
