The book theif

The book thief by Markus Zusak [Ten parts]

"I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it's cold. And I don't have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on my from a distance. You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror..."

This book was emotionally stressful. There were so many ups and downs and loopty loops...
I just could not put it down. It starts out and the book is rather boring..When I first started reading it I thought to myself "Oh, my word. Why did I even get this book? 552 pages!! I have officially lost my mind.."

However 20 pages in.. I-was-hooked.

One thing that killed me was this book is a big SPOILER..Every time something is about to happen the narrator tells you 30 pages ahead of time..ugggh.

This book is about Liesel,a nine year old girl, in Nazi Germany. Enough said right.. Right. The story was told in the perspective of DEATH. Woah..innovative right? Yes... yes,yes,yes.

Go out...to a library... or a store.. somewhere and get this book.. It is a must read! (Tears WILL fall)
