BOOK OF THE YEAR: THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS BY JOHN BOYNE

 Go read it. Tollay awesome book seen through the eyes of a nine year old. It even censors the bad stuff. But it's really awesome, way better than the movie which was too straightforward of some sort. Halfway through the book everything suddenly becomes clear, so clear I don't know what to feel. Stun. I feel like the nine year old protagonist in the book. Don't google about it or it ruins the stunness. Just go, go and buy that book at Times. Or Popular book fair which I doubt is still going on. 

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.

- Quoted from back cover of the book (Reminds me of Lemony Snicket)

So don't google it. And don't watch the movie.

  Oh and I found out what those stuff written at the back cover of books are called. They're blurbs. And that also applies to those stuff written at the back cover of CDs and DVDs. I've been wondering what they're called and Joshua said they're not called synopsis, which is understandable because synopsis is a summary.
