About this listen
What happens when innocence is confronted by monstrous evil?
Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.
Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.

one of the best works
First of all the story is very very good and puts light on the fact that how terrible it can be when the tables are turned. I would request everybody to read this book. full stars to the narrator. it requires a certain level of talent, clarity and supreme level of patience to narrate books so well.

Heart- wrenching
The worst thing about finishing a title is that you can never feel the same way like you felt for the first time you read it.
Bruno is such a sweetheart. His friendship with his friend, who stays on the other side of the fence and wears a stripped pajama is what to cherish.
A nine-year-old-boy who is indifferent to the crisis around him gets the taste of reality by holding hands with his birthday twin.
It is heart-wrenching to visualise the then situation of Germany through the pages of the book.

Amazing book and beautiful narration.
Initially I wanted to read the book chapter by chapter by day. Now when I've finished the book at 3rd go, I can do nothing but appreciate the story and the narrator for holding me into this. I craved for this reading experience. WONDERFUL.

Touching
Very unique story line, touching circumstances. Unfailingly brings out the “human instinct” in the reader. And compels one to think through about right vs wrong in a way that rarely is possible.

Innocence, love, friendship at its highest in times of hatred and barbarity and war!
Loved the sensitivity with which the story is made and treated. Amazing story of friendship where it was not possible! Beautiful and apt characterisation! You can't help but fall in love with both the boys, Bruno and Shmolz (?) (I don't know how to spell.) Beautiful and heartwrenching at the same time!

I'm not some who usually gives out 5 stars but ...
(minor spoiler alert)
wow. let me say it again, wow. I hadn't realised in a while how privileged I was and then I read the book. the book is so well written because it starts off normal, from a perspective of a little boy, who you think till a long time is "the boy in the striped pyjamas", and then picks up pace and intensity, and never stops. You begin to realise what it is about, but never realize where it's going to go, not till the very end, and the end... boy, did I cry... and think, and then overthink about it all, literally it all... life, humanity, existence and privilege. And if the writing isn't enough, the performance is unreal, you will feel like Bruno, the 9 year old, the little boy, and you will feel afraid when father speaks, and cared for when Maria does. this Audiobook is good, no, very good, and I highly recommend it.

engaging story , well narrated
Innocent kids in a horrible place at horrible time. Narrator has succeeded in creating a personality of the bubbly 9 year old. Special surprise of 'talk with the author' at the end.

amazing narration
The story was really heart touching and the narration was the cherry on top. I am grateful I got a chance to listen to such a heart warming story of Bruno and Schmeul ♥️
