A review by gracefullypunk
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
4.0
Am I missing something? The consensus on this book is five stars, but why? Is it because we're meant to think this book is that good? Is it because it's about Nazi Germany, but for once, the heroine is not a Jew? Or, again, did I totally miss something in this book?
I gave it four stars because I loved the descriptions, the visuals invoked. But five stars go to books I just can't put down, and this wasn't one of them. I knew what was going to happen, and there wasn't anything that occurred after what was revealed in the beginning. The characters are done well, the words are beautiful, but the story is a bit lacking.
