Review: Friedrich is a good book about Friedrich, a Jewish boy in the beginning of WW II. I liked this book and give it a 4 out of 1-5 if 5 being the best.

There were a few things I didn’t like, one being Friedrichs friend was not named in the story and he was the narrator. It got to be really annoying. Another was the story is a translation so some things are confusing. I’m done talking about the bad stuff now here’s the good stuff.

Friedrich has a lot of good stuff too. A great thing about this book is that you will have trouble putting this book down because it is so good. The best part is the ending. You don’t know what happens until the last sentence. It’s sad and surprising. READ IT.
