Final Post - Overall

Overall, I thought The Book Thief was a very good book. I think Markus Zusak did a great job with developing the story and keeping the reader engaged. My favorite aspect of the story was that Death was the narrator. It gave a very unique twist to the book that I have never seen before in a book. Another thing that I really liked about this book was that it was not like other books you read that take place in Nazi Germany. Most of the time, those types of books will be from the point of view of a Jew or someone sheltering a Jew. Having the main character be a typical German girl that is still effected by the holocaust is also a very unique aspect. I loved how the relationships between Liesel and all the other characters were developed and how it made the reader feel like they were a part of it. The Book Thief was a very fast read, but it was still done very well and it has a great overall meaning. I would recommend this book to just about anyone.
