Fighting Ruben Wolfe
Fighting Ruben Wolfe | Markus Zusak
5 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
I say, 'Don't lose your heart, Rube.' And very clearly, without moving, my brother answers me. He says, 'I'm not tryin' to lose it, Cam. I'm tryin' to find it.' The Wolfe brothers know how to fight. They've been fighting all their lives. Now there's something more at stake than just winning. A powerful, poignant novel from the author of the international bestseller, The Book Thief.

#winterwonderland #theboxer

When brothers Cameron and Ruben, from a poor working class family find they can earn some money with an organized boxing racket, they take the chance. A story not so much about boxing but of respect, pride and sibling love. Not read, of course. 😄

The writing.
The writing.
The writing.

Markus Zusak writes as beautifully and searingly as I've come to expect about two young brothers trying to make their way in life.

It is about love and family and pride and all the good things. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

ValerieAndBooks I loved the Book Thief; really need to pick up his other books! 8y
Libby1 Definitely do so, @ValerieAndBooks . The setting of present or close to present day Australia could not be more different from The Book Thief, but Zusak's quality writing style and heart shine through. 8y

"It's funny, don't you think, how time seems to do a lot of things? It flies, it tells, and worst of all, it runs out."

Libby1 Hi, @bethfriedman906 ! I loved The Book Thief and I An the Messenger. I've only read the first chapter of this one but it's pulled me in right away. Enjoy! 8y
BeththeBookDragon @Libby1 I loved them both too! So glad he's got another book for me to read! 8y

$5 book sale find #6:
I'll be starting 'The Book Thief' next month. If I love it as much as I expect, I'll have another (2 other, actually) of his to read later on.
