Book Review of The Book Thief

The Book Thief
Bernelli avatar reviewed on + 266 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


Liesel is too young to deal with the death of her younger brother, the abandonment of her mother, abject poverty, and also WWII, bombings and the ugliness Hitler introduced into her life (and ours). She's a survivor, and impresses even Death with her strength and her love of words that provide her shelter in her difficult life.
