DoAF Mid point.

This might sound a bit mean, but I'm honestly a bit bored. It's a real story and all the feelings of pain and isolation are real and I can sympathize with those feelings, but the way and the style the book is written in just doesn't appeal to me. I'm not trying to say as though the story is horrible and the events aren't terrible, but I think it's because the previous 3 books I read were all very fantastical, from the pure insanity of Hypothetically Speaking, to the supernatural and creepiness of The Shining and the massive scale and sci-fi world of Ender's Game. I don't think the problem is with the book itself. I think the problem is that I've accustomed my reading more towards fantastical elements. The Diary of Anne Frank is just what I've read in other Holocaust Novels, the difference being this actually happened. It's just depressing, and I'm not really interested in a book like that.
