Review: "Annexed" by Sharon Dogar is about the hiding of a young man named Peter Van Pels. His life during the Holocaust in hiding while receiving incite on the outside through people who help them intrigues you to keep reading. His life in hiding wasn't just by himself, of course, he also lived with his parents, a dentist, and the Franks.It gives to a feel for what it was like during the Holocaust. The sense that at any moment, you could be caught Or you have to stay quiet if you want to stay alive. No one ever dared to raise their voice or open a window because it would draw too much attention. There were many excellent parts in the book that kept me on the edge. Anyone above 10 would love to read this book. Overall, it's a great, captivating book that you'll want to read that teaches you about how it was like during the Holocaust.

~Kathleen Wright's Review~ The book "Annexed" By Sharon Dogar is an interesting book which entails a false tale of love in a real story. This story, is a historical based novel, but with a twist of romance to it. This book shows how vulnerable, and somewhat dependent people were during World War Two, when the holocaust was a large influence to their lives (Well, in reality it was their entire life. If they got caught, they were put in a concentration camp. If they were put in a concentration camp, they would either die from disease, starvation or be killed by the guards when the time came) But, this book kept me reading, I didn't want to put it down as it had many exciting parts, and many quite...interesting parts. In my personal opinion, I would say that people from the age of 11 and up should read this book. It is an amazing book, in which, I think you should all try read at least once. But, if Historical fiction isn't the genre you usually read, then, this will be an interesting read for you, as well as a change from what you usually read.
