The Book Thief
shukween avatar reviewed on + 118 more book reviews


An amazing accomplishment for a 30-year old male author, this book offers a non-Jewish perspective on the Holocaust and living in Germany as it unfolded. An easy read for any reader, including the author's targeted young adult, this novel offers a second plane of themes and thought for the thinking reader. Words play a main character role throughout the story, popping up in new disguises everywhere. This book is truly a delightful read on many levels.
