Some people have such a gift with words! With almost every page I read of The Book Thief, I was in complete awe at how Markus Zusak, the author, took control of his words and made them into a masterpiece!
The Book Thief is an incredible story based in Molching, Germany, during the Second World War. The story follows the life of a girl named Liesel, who was fostered at the age of nine. Coping with the loss of her family and her new life on Himmel Street, Liesel finds happiness in the pages of books; however, it’s not so easy for a poor girl to get her hands on books during the war.
This is a story of love, sorrow, danger, loyalty, and, of course, lots of thieveries. The narrator is also someone you’d never expect would ever want to tell a story. The Book Thief is an exceptionally wonderful book, though it contains quite a bit of language, that makes you see the Second World War in a completely new light.
Markus Zusak is a tremendous writer! The way he captures the reader is something I’ve never experienced before. His unethical way of telling a story is also something to commemorate. I have never read such an interactive book that made me still want to read the end, though it’s not always pleasant.
