| 19/03/2015 07:08:18 | I read the Fiction text 'Once'. This book was set in WWII and uses real events to make it totally believable and 100% real and involving. This text hooks you every chapter because it is so thrilling and leaves you hanging and wanting you to never lay down this book . The cover of the book relates to the setting and time of the book; the burning of Jewish books related to Hitler’s rise to power . I would recommend this book to so many people/friends especially ones who don't know about the Holocaust, in fact I have recommend the book to my sister already and she is eager to read it. | |

His parents told him when they left him there that they were going to find more books, as they owned a bookshop, and they promised him that one day they would send him a message when they would take him home. Felix thought he had received that message when he got a whole carrot in his soup so he leave the orphanage and decided to look for his parents. What he didn't know was what was outside of that orphanage, he had no idea on what danger he was in, why Nazi soldiers were burning Jewish books. He met a lot of people on this journey, Zelda, who he saved from a burning house, Barney the dentist and also helped a German soldier with a toothache. |
