The last book I read was Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern. I liked it, I mean I could relate to the first part smile.gif) It was really funny and centered around real-life(those things could really happen to anyone!). But what I really liked about it was that the whole book was made of letters, emails, notes, postcards, instant messages etc smile.gif).

German Boy by Wolfgang W. E. Samuel.
I've only started it; it's a true story, and I think it's interesting to gain insight as to what life was like for a child in Germany towards the end of WWII. My grandparents actually recommended it to me, because they also, as children, lived through those times in Germany.
