A bag of marbles book review.

For a brief portion of the war he spends his days eating pastries and watching the same movie over and over again. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story. The story is regaining popularity now because a new film adaptation was released earlier this year. The english translation of the title is bag of marbles which doesn t have the same ring but had to be kept because of the symbolism.

However the language and descriptive passages of the original presentation is preferable. I hope that young readers will be introduced to this important book. However the language and descriptive passages of the original presentation is preferable. A bag of marbles un sac de billes is based on the best selling autobiographical novel by joseph joffo but here we aren t treated to the bleak battlefield often shown with such subject matter.

Ten year old joseph even looks a bit like tintin with his skinny frame and blond hair. No one would describe this book as a thriller but it has false identities and escapes through the forest in the dark of night. Instead by following the journey of inseparable brothers joseph and maurice we see 1940s france through the innocent eyes of a child. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story.

One person found this helpful. The book i read is called bag of marbles and it is about world war 2 and the nazis.
