arianamaria 's review for:
The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
YOU ARE GONNA HATE ME, I KNOW!!
This book has a very original idea. Writing a book from the perspective of DEATH in a period of war and Holocaust is a very special idea and the transition from the non-fictional books about Holocaust to a fictional book that is for YA as well, is big for me, because I have read a lot of books on this topic, that is why I keep having high expectations.
It breaks my heart to give it just 3 /5 but it just didn't made me feel any connection or pain (which is literally unbelievable since I am in pain whenever I tink about this tragedy). Also, I feel it was a very long book without a valid reason, the plot could have been shorter than this for sure. The end made me feel more connected with the book, and Liesel had suffered a long way, but I was expecting that. It was a good book, the beginning was very slow, and the end made me feel something, but I just feel it could have been so much more. I feel that the plot was dragged for a long time and didn't actually develop. It had great potential, it was a great idea, just didn't develop well later on :).
