un sac de billes...

Well, not funny bits so much as funny characters and ironic situations, like at the camp Moisson Nouvelle with Ange Testi (ironic name) and all of his various ploys to get out of work and be naughty generally is quite amusing, and some of the interactions between the two brothers are amusing- but generally its a sad, serious book...

edit: oh just thought of a good one, at the beginning when the SS offficer goes into the jewish coiffeur run by the joffos to get his hair cut, quite a funny situation!! (and scary too)

im so sorry not really of much help lol exams are near and we havent even finished the text let alone doing past papers rather scared really. and so far the only funny bit i can think of is the one uve mentioned above.

Did anyone else find this book highly romanticised? Joffo claims it is an autobiography, but my teacher would never let me explain that I felt he had exaggerated a lot, and I found it particularly difficult to believe Joffo remembered such detail, as a child.
