ANNE FRANK : THE BIOGRAPHY
by Melissa Muller

The title of this book is misleading. You have to slough through more than half of the volume before you even have an inkling of what Anne Frank was like. Most of the book deals with her father, Otto Frank, and his businesses.  There is really nothing revelatory nor new about Anne Frank that hasn't been written before. I found the writing to be dry and plodding. The Epilogue was supposed to reveal who betrayed the family but the suspects all denied doing anything wrong and, at best, it's all speculative.
Not recommended.
