The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read. This was my first experience reading a book where the narrator is death... The book evoked many feelings. Though the setting is actually in Nazi Germany and therefore many events happen around that time, friendships, human kindness and death stand out.

The book thief is an amazing character who despite what was happening around her sought solace in the next steal. "No, thought Liesel as she walked. It's my heart that is tired. A thirteen-year-old heart shouldn't feel like this." A story of loss after loss and coping.
The word shaker certainly made me experience a roller-coaster of emotions... Loved the book definitely
