i think it is a great story plot and is a good read, but the issue is that i have put the book down, twice already and i have stopped reading it once more due the the shear fact that the writing style is non-relatable and is easy to put down, i understand why lots of people would enjoy it, and do, but I'm afraid this one is not for me

In Hitler's bunker, Helga Goebbels is witnessing everyone's life fall apart as the adults' appearances change along with their mood and the smell of marzipan fills the air. She unconsciously comes to realize that her 'golden childhood' was not at all as it seemed. Helga has an inkling that everything wouldn't go as planned; Hitler wouldn't beat the Russians and everyone would die. Her instincts are proven right when all the adults are artificially happy and pressing and even more so when they lie. Helga keeps her thoughts to herself because she wants to pretend everything is going to be alright but by doing so, she is lonely and the only consolation she can find in Hitler's underground bunker is from the past; her memories. She replayed her memories in her head as she subconsciously knows, though she denies it, that those times had passed and would never come back again.… (more)

Based on the true situation of the Goebbels children who spent their last days with Hitler and some other in his bunker. Helga Goebbels (12 years old) tells the story of what it was like to be with Uncle Leader (Hitler) and the others at this tense time. Lots of historical information at the end of the book so you know what happened. If you liked The Boy in Striped Pyjamas you may enjoy this.
