So I finally finished The Book Thief.
I went into it with wildly different expectations. To be honest, I did not know much about it other than people listing it as one of the best or most impactful books they have ever read. So it's been on my tbr for a while. I knew that it was set in the time of the Second World War, but somehow I thought the war wouldn't be as big of a part of the book as it was. I wasn't really in the mood to read something as heavy, so it did take a while fo me to get through.
But I'm glad I did. The Book Thief is beautyfully written. It is full of symbolim and scentences that make you think as well as feel. I cried ugly tears, whilst reading the ending.
Even though it wasn't anything I was prepared to read, I'm happy I pushed through. Because not many books can evoke such strong feelings. And for a book to be an excellent read it doesn't have to be all sunshine and rainbows.
