The Diary of Anne Frank
This has been one of the most moving, important and meaningful pieces of work I've read yet. Up there with The Gulag Archipelago and Ordinary Men.
To think she wrote it between the ages of 13 - 15 is astonishing. For a girl of that age to write so eloquently isn't like anything you'll see, especially not in this day and age. She was intelligent and mature way beyond her years and should have been given more respect from the adults in her life.
Her dream was to become a journalist, and eventually a famous writer. Well, although she sadly didn't live to see it, she got her wish, because this was unintentional literary genius.
You can't win if you don't play
