The Book Thief by Markus ZusakMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is my new favorite book. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought it was a wonderfully quick read. The characters were very well developed... I had favorites, but I could even feel something for the villains.
This book does leave me with unanswered questions at the end... but that somehow makes me want to read it again.
It's WWII, Nazi Germany.
Death is the narrator, but certainly not what I would have expected.
Leisel is a girl who keeps surviving despite the odds against her.
Her foster parents are ideal...
The best friend, Rudy, is heartbreaking...
Meanwhile Max, their Jewish friend in hiding, may be the REAL best friend...

BookCat... thanks for dropping by my blog last Tuesday. You and I both love the Book Thief! What an awesome piece of historical fiction. Plus, added bonus, my daughter is a librarian. Are you also a quilter?
