A Screenplay for Students of French,
By
This review is from: Au Revoir Les Enfants (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a French teacher in a college prep high school. This book is nothing more than the screenplay for the movie of the same name. It doesn't pretend to be anything else, so if all you want to do is enjoy the movie there's no reason to read the book. But for students of French, what a wonderful way to learn! Just read the book, with the help of a good dictionary, then see the film. But I warn you that you have to be fairly advanced in the language before attempting to read the book. However, the rewards are considerable. First, it's a wonderful, touching story that has lessons for all. Secondly, your knowledge of the language will increase exponentially.

Very good and very sad,

This review is from: Au Revoir les Enfants (Evergreen Book) (Paperback)
I loved this book and the movie. It was great how it showed France being occupied by the Germans during World War II through the eyes of a child. I saw the movie in my French class and I was so touched and so sad about what these kids had to go through. I would reccomend this book to anyone and everyone.

This is just a short screenplay of the movie and not really a memoir. Rent the excellent movie.
