The young protagonist of the book says this: "I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right." I'm sure I can not make the words "right" and do this book justice in a review. It's just that good.
This is a story, narrated by Death, about a young girl in Germany during World War II. I understand this is a YA book, but it is enjoyable for adults.
Zusaks' prose was amazing. I've highlighted many quotes. The book is like an onion. There are so many layers and it's likely to make you cry. The layers are amazing. There is a lot of depth to the book and a lot going on with characters and plot. I thought it was really interesting how Death would tell us something about what was to come, but just a small snippet. Then when the time arrived, it was like a distant memory or a sense of déjà vu in that I kind of knew what was about to happen on a larger scale but the details were about to be filled in.
I truly felt for the characters. They were extremely well developed. Liesel is an amazing protagonist. I adored her and then with her, I laughed, cried, got angry, and was fearful. She nearly came to life for me. Hans and Rosa are also worth mentioning as well written characters.
This is a beautiful book.Get more detail about The Book Thief.
