The Book Thief by Markus ZusackThe Book Thief is one of those books that you have to read once a year so you never forget the beauty of the story. Meet Liesel Meminger, an illiterate German girl moved to Munich during WWII when her mother can no longer take care of her. On the way to Munich, Liesel is faced with the loss of her brother and when attending the funeral of her brother sees a man drop a book which she steals. Finally in Munich when Liesel lives with the foul mouthed Rosa Hubermann and loving Hans Hubermann she learns how to toughen herself and how to deal with the hard times of War. Her loving foster father Hans Hubermann teaches her how to read from her stolen book and she grows a thirst for words. During her time in Munich Liesel discovers the horrors of War and coming of age.
The Book Thief is a beautiful book that really changes the way you look at the world and books; how you can go by your whole life without noticing the little things and the true value of words. One of the most interesting things about The Book Thief is that it's narrated by Death. Markus Zusack gives Death a voice and a new character I've never seen before.
The Book Thief is indescribably beautiful. This is a book I recommend everyone read, it really does make you look at things differently.
