Geoff reviewed Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
Review of 'Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I’ve of course read this before. Like most people I read it in school. And then at least twice again since then. Most recently I listened to the audiobook. It was read beautifully by Selma Blair.
I don’t think I need to explain why this book is worth reading. Every human being should read it more than once. Anne has such a clear, authentic voice, and her story is devastatingly sad in that it is so full of hope and promise cut short by something so crass as political hatred.
She got it but it isn’t enough. Anne deserved so much more.

When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?
I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies.
