Wonderful
“I could introduce myself properly, but it‘s not really necessary.” I like this quote because it draws the reader in and is mysterious.

I would use this book when talking about literature and WWll. This book talks uses lots of historical references as well as figurative language. This would be good for students to make connections about events that they know about WWII and how figurative language can still be used in historical books.
This book is about a girl, Liesel, growing up in Germany during WWll. The book is narrated by Death. Liesel and her Jewish friend Max, steal books and read to cope with the horrific events that are going on. This book balances fact with fiction by using a real-time event and using a personified force which we don‘t know who they are. The book uses the German language and places that are real as well.
“The Book Thief“ is a powerful story that leaves a strong impression on both young readers and me. It teaches important lessons about resilience, compassion, and the magic of books. The characters and their experiences make the story unforgettable, showing how people can find strength even in tough times.
Markus Zusak's “The Book Thief“ is a historical fiction novel set in Nazi Germany during World War II. Narrated by Death, the story unfolds through the life of Liesel Meminger, a young girl navigating the challenges of wartime. As Liesel matures amidst the turmoil of the Holocaust, the novel explores the profound impact of literature, showcasing its ability to transcend even the darkest periods in history.
Just over half way through this and really enjoying its narration. I‘ve read quite a few reviews and feel this book definitely has a love/hate relationship with its readers. It‘s what put me off reading it initially. Have you read it? What did you think? Genuinely curious to know your thoughts.
This book was a really powerful portrayal of what life was like for people living in Germany at the time of WW2. It was gripping and heartbreaking.
This is a very good and descriptive book. It shows a lot of what life was like during the war for people in Germany. It was awesome how Death was the narrator, very cool. All in all a great book and I would say it‘s worth the read.
I think that The Book Thief was a wonderful book. It did a great job portraying what it was like to live in NAZI Germany. It was also one of the saddest and sweetest books I have ever read.
Very good book, best book I‘ve read in the past year. I‘ve only read one book in the last year!
The book thief was a really good book. I loved that Death was the Narrator instead of a regular character. Would not change anything about the story or plot line. Definitely recommend reading the book before watching the movie.
The Book Thief wasn‘t one of my favorite books I‘ve read. While the concept of Death being the narrator was interesting, I didn‘t enjoy the fact that he revealed major plot points within the book. I suppose it could‘ve been to make you more inclined to continue reading so you could find out why, but I personally didn‘t like that fact. I also wasn‘t the biggest fan of Liesel as I thought she boring.
I loved this book! Liesel, now living on Himmel Street meets so many new people in harsh times. It so good, but so sad! Rudy and Rosa are by far the best characters. I hope you love them as much as I do.
