The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

5.0

Where can I begin with The Book Thief?

I first read it when I was twelve for my own enjoyment. I had never cried at a book before- but this time, I sobbed. SOBBED. It was the first piece of literature I thoroughly enjoyed with my whole being.

The characters- Liesel, Rosa, Hans, Rudy, Ilsa, Max.... they all weave their way into your heart. I am not being dramatic when I say this the best historical fiction book of all time. Possibly one of the best books ever.

You cannot say you are a book fan until you've laughed and cried and marveled at the amazing writing and history in The Book Thief. Markus Zusak does wonders with the creative narrator, Death, and his interest in the main characters' plotline.

Read The Book Thief.

You will not regret it.
