The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I’m so sorry to be in the minority, but this book just did not connect with me. I found it to be unbearably slow. I kept waiting for each anecdote to be a little more interesting, and while there was some beautiful imagery and powerful messages, they were ultimately just small treats amidst a largely underwhelming story. I didn’t have an issue with the narration nor the perspective, but it was the characters that just didn’t do it for me. I would not have finished it if not for the podcast episode we have out in it now.
