A review by reangelic
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

4.0

Such a beautifully written book. I’d say the only thing I was complaining about was the length of it as I had energy to read many books but I was stuck on this one, which, looking back at it now, wasn’t really bad. I will miss all of the characters and the beautiful writing style. While reading I was thinking “this isn’t the best book I read, but it’s really good” which I wasn’t expecting to think when I first started it as I usually get really bored reading historical fiction books. I think it’s amazing now, not just good. The ending left me empty and heartbroken and spoiler⚠️ the fact they’re all dead makes me miss them even more. Rudy, papa, mama, Frau Holtzapfel; I loved them all sm. The characters were so beautifully written and they were lovable. The love Leslie has for books and the way it is described is amazing and made me reread certain lines again and again. I love this book sm!!
