The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

A book review by Madeline Soucie


The Book Thief is told by Death about a girl living in Nazi Germany during World War 2. 

Having Death as a narrator gave this book an interesting point of view. Though his view makes everything confusing at first, Death turned out to be a good narrator.


Liesel Meminger moved to Germany to live with her foster parents during the reign of Hitler, not the easiest time to live in. To make matters worse, Liesel soon learns she loves to read and has a knack for stealing books.  While her father teaches her to read and her parents struggle through hard times, Max -- the wild card -- comes into the picture. Now the family must hide a Jew in their basement and hope to make it through the war alive.
