Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank, is her actual diary and the events it holds are real. Anne wrote the diary during the time of World War II. Her family was in hiding from the Nazis. Along with her family in hiding were some neighbors and a dentist, and there was a lot of conflict between everyone. Ann lived an extremely hard life.
The diary was certainly sad. She fought with the others a lot in hiding and the diary sometimes held unpleasant thoughts about them. It must have been an extremely difficult way to live. If what you wish is to know more about World War II and get the inside story on witnesses' lives, the diary is a must-read.
I give this book 9.5 out of 10 stars.

If you ever get the chance, you should visit the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. The line is long, even if you get there early in the day, but it's worth it to see both the small space in which they all lived and the beautiful world they were shutting out.
