A review by amanda1793
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
5.0
I'm glad that I finished this with reading and not listening to the audio! I cried for the last 15-20 pages.
This book is stunningly beautiful. The fact that Death is the narrator to a story with such tragedy and beauty adds to the powerfulness of this book. Reading a book based in Germany and the characters being innocent Germans (of that time) (ie not members of the Nazi party) and having those characters, in their own way stand up to Nazi party members is very interesting.
I have fallen in love with this story, and I intend to read more of Markus Zusak in the future. A highly recommended book for sure!
