From Booklist
Zlata Filipovic of Sarajevo began keeping her diary in 1991, just before her eleventh birthday. Ebullient and accomplished, Zlata recorded the swirl of activities she avidly pursued, from school to piano lessons, skiing, parties, and watching her favorite TV shows, all American. We immediately sense that Zlata and her family have a deep love for their country, but just as we begin to enjoy Zlata's fine young mind and cheerful disposition, the chaos and terror of war shatter her world. Schools close, socializing becomes too risky, and what was once a cozy home is transformed into a fragile shelter bereft of electricity or water. In spite of great tragedy and deprivation, Zlata keeps making her lucid diary entries, carefully chronicling the claustrophobia, boredom, resignation, anger, despair, and fear war brings. Another birthday passes, and Zlata's observations become even sharper and more searing. The convoys of fleeing citizens remind her of movies she's seen of the Holocaust; she notices that grief and hardship have made her valiant parents haggard and sorrowful; and she can't believe that her clothes no longer fit. How could she be growing when she has so little to eat? With a precision and vision beyond her years, Zlata writes that the "political situation is stupidity in motion," and more hauntingly, "life in a closed circle continues." Zlata brings Sarajevo home as no news report can. Her diary was first published by UNICEF, then released in France; U.S. serial rights have gone to Newsweek, and Zlata and her parents will be visiting here this month. Donna Seaman
From Kirkus Reviews
Originally published in Croat by UNICEF, this is the wartime diary of a Sarajevo girl who has since moved to Paris. Zlata began keeping her diary at the age of 11, nearly eight months before the shelling of Sarajevo began. A chronicle that begins in September 1991 with Zlata buying school supplies is forced, by March 1993, to reckon with the fact that all ``the schools near me are either unusable or full of refugees.'' Zlata's voice, understandably, has difficulty maturing at a pace demanded by the events it records, and some passages communicate more bathos than outrage or insight. But that's history's fault, not Zlata's. (First serial rights to Newsweek) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Zlata's Diary was obviously written by a fifth grader. The vocabulary (may have been changed a little bit by translation) is a little above a fifth grade level, but the sentance structure is the same. In the middle of the book she finds out her diary is going to be published. I think this impacted her writing, because after that she started talking just about the war, not her feelings. If you are interested in the war, not how someone lived through the war, read this book. If you are looking for feelings and thoughts more, read Anne Frank.

I'm a senior in high school and have just read Zlata's diary for our historical literature class. Truthfully, I was somewhat let down by the book. It seemed as though with the announcement of her diary's publication, the entries changed from introspective to writing for an audience. Whereas Anne Frank was purely writing for herself, Zlata knew that her diary would be published, making it less impacting on my emotions. Granted, I could never comprehend what she had to go through and I feel for her, her family, and the lost innocence of her childhood. I recommend this book with some reservations.

Zlata's Diary is very typical of many diary's that are being written today. I think that they need to stop making this type of books because Anne Frank was enough and all people will do is relate it to her life. Also throughout this book Zlata shows no emotion and she keeps repeating herself. When she found out that her diary was going to be published she totally changed her style of writing. She should have kept writing how she was and maybe the diary would have been more interesting to read.
