Bookthief final post

 I thought that the Book Thief was an interesting dark book that I really enjoyed. While it is fiction I felt like I had a window into the daily life of regular Germans living in Nazi Germany. When I think of Nazi Germany I picture a bunch of radical Nazis praising Hitler and discriminating against Jews. Yet the reality is that not all people supported Hitler or his ideas. Another think that really stuck to me about this book was the use of Death as a narrator. This is the first time I had read or even heard of this point of view. The book is not told through third person as it appears but first person with Death telling the story.  Overall the book did not have a lasting impression on me except for the things I mentioned above, It was a nice story but it just isn't a story I will remember. Unlike Of Mice and Men where George kills Lenie, the book thief does not have a shocking ending or a powerful message at the end that I will always recall. This book did have a sad ending with the destruction of Himmel street and Max but this book is not Kite Runner, where I felt depressed at the end, I didn't really feel any remorse. This is a good book and I would defiantly recommend this book but it is not one of my favorites.
