There was also another book I read about an Auschwitz survivor when I was about 15...........unbelieveable the suffering they went through, & has left lasting memories with me. Sadly I have forgotten the name of the book & the author but it was very graphic. Other than Animal Farm, Anne Frank's diaries. :0) Joan |

Hi Aimie, the same as Caz, i did Lord Of the Flies for O level and never forgot , But, I did To Kill a Mocking bird for A level, and found it hard going... I am wondering whether to read that book again, now as an adult and see how i feel about it. |

Can you think of one book, that a teenageer would benifit from reading... Fiction.. that perhaps lessons could be learnt.. and or a help to understanding life or adulthood? |
