Helpful Score: 2
Liesel Meminger is the book thief. She lives with her foster parents in Germany during World War II. She bonds with her foster father as he slowly teaches her to read. Her love of books will bond her to many other characters including Max, the Jewish man the family is hiding in their basement.
This story is narrated by Death. Although this should be cheesy, Death's perspective seems entirely appropriate given the World War II backdrop of the story. This story is not sugar coated. These are dangerous times. Overall, the subject of this book is heavy and dark, but the characters draw you in and you want to know what they will do and say next.
I really enjoyed this book. It is marketed for Young Adults, but will hold your attention and keep you turning the pages late at night as you promise to go to sleep after reading just one more chapter.
