The Book Thief – Markus Zusak 17
September 17, 2007
I loved this book. This is a story about a young girl and her foster parents during the war in Germany, who help a Jewish man by hiding him in their basement. During a time of poverty, fear and war, we watch their relationships grow and develop. This is also the story of a girl who discovers books and learns to read. These books are stolen from Nazi book burnings and wherever else they may be found. Although the struggles and reality of this story are hard to imagine and read about, I just couldn’t get enough of these people.
