The Book Thief


This book was hard to start, hard to read, and hard to put down. There will forever be tear stains in my copy of this book and I think it would be hard to find a read copy that is not the same. I have never read a book written quite like this and have never felt that bond between people, that the people in this book had for each other. This book is set in Germany during WWII. It is a whole new sadness to see the hurt of the non-Jewish, non-Nazi, people in Germany who had no voice. They lived in fear of everyone around them. Somehow through it all there was a girl growing up a good person.
