Even many, many years later, I can still remember that book. Thus I was very curious to read this book on "what might have been" with Anne Frank. I thought that Dr. Teague did a good job of writing this book. I could see Anne writing these entries as she spent her time in concentration camp. Although, I will agree with another reader that in the beginning, it really did not feel like Anne's voice. It felt like a "ghost writer" writing for her. Yet, the further I got into the book, it did feel more like Anne writing. What I was missing was the sorrow that I got from The Diary of Anne Frank. It felt like the "dark" and "real" moments were glossed over to keep the vibe of this book kind of upbeat. Which, Anne's story is not that. Despite my feelings about this book, I did still like it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The Diary of Anne Frank is a seminal piece of twentieth-century literature. It recounts the tragic and moving story of a young Jewish teenager faced with the horrors of Nazism. In it, Anne establishes a bond with her readers that transcends both time and space, making them her friends and confidants. Readers feel a connection with each dream she had, each fear she endured, and each struggle she confronted. Her diary ended, but her story did not. The Lost Diary of Anne Frank picks up where her original journal left off, taking the reader on a credible journey through the tragic final months of her life, faithfully adhering to her own, very personal, diary format in the process. In The Lost Diary of Anne Frank, Anne receives mysterious help from many quarters. A strange lady on the other side of the fence haunts her dreams. Her mom once vilified, becomes a hero. Anne struggles with the existence of God and His presence or absence in all of her ordeals. She contrasts the depravity of man with what she sees as mankind\u2019s evident virtues. Her longing to experience sensual pleasures is numbed by forced over-exposure. She finds that in the Nazi efforts to extinguish the humanity of their victims, a chorus of unity evolves among the captives. Anne\u2019s vaulted dreams for fame and notice are ultimately traded in for the true longings of life, love, and peace. The Lost Diary of Anne Frank follows her story to the chilling end. Dr. Johnny Teague is an author and historian, having earned five degrees, culminating with a doctorate in exposition from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. In preparation for writing this book, he interviewed many Holocaust survivors and studied at the Holocaust museums in Houston, Washington, D.C., and Yad Vashem in Israel. His studies have taken him to numerous historical sites, including Auschwitz, Dachau, the Corrie ten Boom House, and the Anne Frank House. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I think Johnny did a great job re-creating what potentially would have been her lost diary had she had the ability to continue to write about her days and time in the camp. History has given us some pieces of the puzzle about potentially how long she and her family were in the camp and sadly, what was more than likely her last day of life- but there still is that unknown. Keeping in the tune of how Anne wrote in her diary, Johnny continued in that dialogue in this novel as well and it did not read like a history book but that you were peaking into someones most inner thoughts and feelings.
I want to thank The Book Review Crew and the author for the invite to the tour and free ebook. I don’t know if I would have found this one otherwise. It gave a little more satisfaction in knowing what her last days could have very well been like. ( )
