A review by banana_hutch
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

5.0

Simultaneously heartwarming and heartrending, this book is difficult to put down. I tore through it. Set in Germany during the late 1930's and early 1940's, and narrated by Death, 'The Book Thief' tells the tale of Liesel, her foster family, her town, and each of their places in the greater context of WWII, the Nazi party, Jewish people, and bombs.

I want to spill every detail of this book just so I can talk about it, but I also want you to pick it up and discover it for yourself. It won't take you long to read, and it's an enchanting, tragic story.
