Publisher's Summary

In Amsterdam, in the summer of 1942, the Nazis forced teenager Anne Frank and her family into hiding. For over two years, they, another family and a German dentist lived in a 'secret annexe', fearing discovery. All that time, Anne kept a diary.

An intimate record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, Anne Frank's diary is one of those unique documents, famed throughout the world.

It portrays innocence and humanity, suffering and survival in the starkest and most moving terms.

    I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry. I also love to listen to the same whilst not paying attention to other things. I aim for my reviews to be short and succinct so that they are easy to read.

    "I am glad I bought this one, the unedited version"

    Having read the first version as a child this book had a lasting impact on me and shaped my life to work in human rights. I am so glad I bought this and listened to it. This version makes Anne seem even more real. You love her all the more for her naivety and teenage insights. RIP Anne, if I prayed at all it would be for souls like yours.

    Story
    "Delightful and charmingly frank."
    Any additional comments?

    Not at all what I had expected, more a diary of a talent person forming under extraordinary circumstances than a narration on living through the fears and isolation of the circumstances themselves. If you have ever entertained a diary yourself you will relate to the extremely candid and self exploratory nature of this, the ever changing self, outbursts, self derision, externalisation, self re-evaluation and growth. Having a teenage daughter myself only made the inevitable conclusion all the more visceral. It is not a book but more a rite of passage.

    Story
    "Briliant"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Is a amazing story, and the narrator is perfectly suited for this read.


    What other book might you compare Diary of a Young Girl to and why?

    Nothing, its about something historical but written in such a fresh perspective. There are many books about the holocaust but non written in this way.


    What does Helena Bonham Carter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I loved the narrating, her voice suited the character and she infused it with emotions in a appropriate way. Her 'acting' was natural and not over the top.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It made me sad to realise again how many brilliant people died in the holocaust because of one man's insanity.

    Story
    "Now I understand why this is a must-read"
    What made the experience of listening to Diary of a Young Girl the most enjoyable?

    I could experience what Anna must have felt and get a better picture of the girl with tragic, well-known history.


    Which character – as performed by Helena Bonham Carter – was your favorite?

    Anna of course.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It got me very quiet and I listened to it with little pauses in between!


    Any additional comments?

    Must-read!!
