The book theif

The Book Thief The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Although the theme itself might inspire some people to turn away -- the way this book is written is amazing. Loved it. The perspectives given in this novel on the survival of one family in Germany during WWII, hiding a Jewish person in the basement. The 9 year old protagonist and her love of books (stealing them :) is a gem and her relationship to their basement hide-away is heartwarming. The narration by death is perfection... read this book.
