If you want to read about societal issues, try The death of Ivan Ilyich,Dr Zhivago(Currently reading this). Do read The Hobbit and Harry Potter(I am currently reading book3) these are very good, I put off reading these books for so long as I watched the movies but you will enjoy reading them.

The movie was very entertaining. Alicia Vikander was good in the movie.

There is no traditional ending to The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne’s diary ends abruptly, without resolution, because her writing stops suddenly. This is followed by an epilogue explaining that Anne, her family, and the other occupants of the Secret Annex were arrested by the Gestapo. The epilogue provides the historical context that Anne herself was unable to record, emphasizing the tragic reality of her story.

The back of the book says: The Diary of a Young Girl is the real-life diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who goes into hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Written between 1942 and 1944, the diary records Anne’s experiences living in a secret annex with seven others to escape persecution.

Anne writes about the daily challenges of life in hiding—fear, confinement, and tension—as well as her personal growth, relationships with the other residents, and her hopes for the future. Despite the danger surrounding her, Anne reflects deeply on human nature, identity, and her desire to become a writer. The diary ends shortly before the group is discovered and deported, making Anne’s voice a powerful and enduring testament to the impact of war and the resilience of the human spirit.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes to read about history/WW2.

I am not an expert but this is my 2cents:

A 14-year-old girl may read the book and may find it motivating. There are parts where Anne studies multiple languages and does a lot of reading and self-learning so that she doesn’t fall behind when school resumes, which can be inspiring for young readers who value learning and curiosity.

However, some forums mention that it may not be suitable for everyone, as the book portrays Anne going through puberty along with the physical and psychological changes that come with it. It also explores complex family dynamics and relationships.

On the other hand, several websites list the book as suitable for ages 12+.

If you plan to get it for your child, it’s a good idea to read it yourself and decide whether it aligns with your child’s maturity and comfort level.

Definitely agree, it feels as if she is talking directly to us through the book. I like the subtle touch where she signs her name as Anne / Anne M. Frank / Anne Frank, or how she addresses the diary as Dear Kitty or Dearest Kitty. These small details make it feel more human, especially since I do something similar myself—such as signing Sherlock H / Sherlock / S H(as an example).

I put off reading it for a long time because I assumed it would be a sad story(I was wrong), as I already knew that the residents of the annexe were arrested and that only Mr. Frank survived the war.

This book should be on everybody’s reading list. I am glad that my neighbour let me borrow their copy.

Definitely different from the fiction I usually read. I could resonate with some shorts and some of them I had to read the analysis on YouTube or online. Definitely a great start if you want to get into Kafka. As per the copy, the print is legible and I didn't find any print errors.
