This is my friend Thad's favorite book.  Anne Frank's diary, hailed as one of the greatest books of the twentieth century, tells the story -- in Anne's own words -- of her family's period in hiding from Nazi oppression in Demark during World War II.

Thad will not shut up about this book.  He says it touches his heart every time he reads it.  And Thad's a really good judge of reading material.  If Thad loves it, it's got to be good.
