A review by whimsyfaerie
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
5.0
5✰
i can’t think about the book theif without feeling upset.
the characters are marvelous. you connect with them instantly and only want the best for them. liselle deserves so much better; she went through the worst things anybody could go through. rudy and max were my favorite characters, other than liselle of course, and the entire time i was hoping nothing would happen to them (but..iykyk).
it is around a 500 page book that is slower-paced, but you need to hear every thought death has and experience the little moments with the characters that make the ending so much more impactful.
this is a truly phenomenal and heartbreaking book that everyone should read. i genuinely don’t think i’ll be able to read it again because of how much i was bawling at the end of the story. ✮
➪ my favorite quotes:
“or till the stars were dragged down again, into the waters of the german sky.”
“trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain.”
“even death has a heart.”
“i have hated the words and i have loved them, and i hope i have made them right.”
