Reviewer: another bystander

'i picked this novel out because i had an assignment to do on a non-fiction book and i thought it would be interesting to try this. once i started i just couldn''t put it down. it is so amazing. i read all day long, my teachers told me off for reading in class. i finished before the end of the day, i was stunned. the book made me laugh while i still had tears running down my cheeks. i told my friends about it and they thought the same. after reading it, i straight away started my book review. my teacher really liked it and she told me that it was one of her favourite books too. i want ot thank zlata for sharing her unthinkable experience with us. it has been a joy to read this book although i know that is not it''s purpose.'

Reviewer: JUST ANOTHER WAR SURVIVOR

Like Zlata I too lived through the 1992 massacre in Bosnia, I was only two years old. I think that her diary shows everyone what war really is and exactly how life goes on. I personally want to thank her for writing an excerpt on the day of my birthday. I cant remember much of my life back then, her diary helped me understand what people like her had to go through. Today I'm fifteen and would love to meet Zlata. Her book inspired me to go on with my life and try to forget what a horrible thing war is, it's kind of hard to do.
