When Anne's sister Margot receives the letter to join the concentration camp during the second world war, her family goes into hiding and there, Anne confides everything that is happening around in her diary named Kitty that was later published by her father after the end of the war. This book is the diary of a 13 year old Anne who recorded everything between 1942 and 1944. This is also her coming of age story. The Anne who was born and brought up in a wealthy family had to go through so much for her age and because of that she becomes so matured, strong and independent towards the end. You will be amazed at how honest and positive Anne was even in that situation. Her thoughts and writing was much like a girl from modern age and I think that's the main reason this book is still withstanding even in the next century. I loved how they busied themselves with learning new subjects, languages and reading even in the depressing circumstances like that. Also, I was amazed at how well informed they were with what's happening around even when they were in hiding. I can't even imagine being stuck like that with no proper food for two weeks let alone two years. Most of all, I loved how Anne saw the world in a positive, hopeful way and reminded me why humanity is important over everything.

Before you read this know that there are some things that will be too repetitive but this is a diary so you can't expect it with organised thoughts and chapters like novels. People who say this is boring have to understand that this whole thing was happened in a locked up place and how can anyone expect it to be entertaining? Read this to learn and reflect on war and what it has done to humanity. From the literature perspective, I liked other books based on World war II better than this. But as a person, I felt this one was raw and profound. It moved me like nothing else. I would say this is a must read for everyone.

I didn't give any rating because I feel this book is beyond any number. It deserves to be read and felt by everyone.
