This book didn't need to be as long as it was. Very disappointed in all the bad language in it, especially the many times Christ's name was blasphemed. Sad, sad story. Wouldn't read again.

Wow. I just bawled my eyes out with the last few chapters.
I should've known. The subject of death always makes me cry.

This book is about a girl named Liesel Meminger and she is the book thief, she has to live everyday life in Munich, Germany. She goes through being adopted to being bombed. This book is one of my favorites because of all of the struggles and victories of the book thief. The only  part I don't really like is the detail on some of the ways she steals the books. I would recommend this book to someone that likes to look into the meanings of the text. Overall this book is great and I would definitely reread this book again.

FYI: This book could make you cry prepare yourself

Loved it. Won't lie, was kinda bored at some parts and felt like more insight should've been given to the background of some characters but still it was lovely.
