Little Boy Bruno

I have just began to read a new book, which I have been wanting to read for a long time. Its titled, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. I have a basic understanding of what the plot of the story is but I'm anxious to read exactly what happens. The book opens with a wealthy family of four living in Germany. The story is told from the nine year old boy's point of view so everything that could be serious or dangerous is told to the reader through innocent and unsuspecting eyes. The boy's story begins with his family moving out of their mansion in Berlin to a small rural house in the, supposed, middle of nowhere. Bruno, the young boy, is upset becouse he must leave his three best friends and his nice house all because of his fathers demanding job as a General. I have a feeling that his father is not as responsible and kind as his wife illustrates to Bruno and his sister, Gretel.
