I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! This book is a suspenseful thriller in which the characters start to notice lapses in their memory. I’m glad it's fiction because it’s kind of freaky.
Bruno is a nine-year-old German boy who lived in Germany until his father was reassigned to “Out-With” by the “Fury.” Bruno is bored there and does not like his new home so he begins exploring his new surroundings. He is confused about the people on the other side of the fence near his house because they wear striped pajamas and seem sad. He becomes friends with a boy on the other side of the fence and they meet daily to talk about their lives until something tragic happens.
Meet Dolores, a smart mouthed, bitter 13 year-old girl who deals with situations by eating. By the time she’s ready to go off to college, she’s obese, and she learns just how cruel the world can be. She hits rock bottom, but that allows her to find herself and go after what she wants.
Being a lover of memoirs and Motley Crue I had to read this and I was not disappointed! There are diary entries written by Nikki Sixx during 1986-87 as well comments from people who knew him then. Motley Crue was big during that time so it's interesting to have a behind the scenes look at how he felt about being a rock star.
