The Book Thief is the story of Leisel Meminger, a young German girl sent to live with a foster family at the start of WWII. The narrator of this tale is Death, who first comes in contact with Leisel when he comes to take her younger brother. Despite repeated trys to stay away from Leisel. Death cannot resist her and keeps a close watch on her life, and that of her friends and family. As the years progress Leisel's family becomes the reluctant protector of the Jewish man Max, who they hide in their basement.
With wonderfully drawn characters, from the kind hearted âPapa' Hans, the tart tongued âMama' Rose, the lemon haired Rudy, the bitter Max and The Book Thief herself, Leisel, this book will make you laugh, make you cry and make you want to read the book again, immediately after the last page. This is the book I am recommending to everyone.
