Book Review of The Book Thief

The Book Thief
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


This is one of the most wonderful and moving books I've ever read. Zusak's power of description is something that I've never witnessed in a book. I can't even begin to explain his use of written word; it was genius. Also, the story being told from Death's point of view was so unusual. I thought it would be morbid but it was actually quite beautiful.
