I'm not giving this a rating because I don't really know how you give a rating to someone's personal thoughts and writings in a diary. Especially when the person is living through a war.

One of the main reasons for (re)reading this book for me was because my cousin's wife lived in Bosnia during the war as well. Because I do not know her story (I think it is very difficult for her to talk about), I wanted to read Zlata's Diary to have at least some idea of what life was like for a child/teen at this time. It's definitely hard to believe that someone just years ago had to live how Zlata, her family, her friends, and the rest of the people in Sarajevo and Bosnia did.
