Reviews"Brilliant and hugely ambitious...Some will argue that a book so difficult and sad may not be appropriate for teenage readers...Adults will probably like it (this one did), but it's a great young-adult novel...It's the kind of book that can be life-changing, because without ever denying the essential amorality and randomness of the natural order, The Book Thief offers us a believable hard-won hope...The hope we see in Liesel is unassailable, the kind you can hang on to in the midst of poverty and war and violence. Young readers need such alternatives to ideological rigidity, and such explorations of how stories matter. And so, come to think of it, do adults." - New York Times, May 14, 2006 " The Book Thief is unsettling and unsentimental, yet ultimately poetic. Its grimness and tragedy run through the reader's mind like a black-and-white movie, bereft of the colors of life. Zusak may not have lived under Nazi domination, but The Book Thief deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel's Night . It seems poised to become a classic." - USA Today "Zusak doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five : with grim, darkly consoling humor." - Time Magazine "Elegant, philosophical and moving...Beautiful and important." - Kirkus Reviews , Starred "This hefty volume is an achievement...a challenging book in both length and subject..." - Publisher's Weekly , Starred "One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years." - The Wall Street Journal "Exquisitely written and memorably populated, Zusak's poignant tribute to words, survival, and their curiously inevitable entwinement is a tour de force to be not just read but inhabited." - The Horn Book Magazine , Starred "An extraordinary narrative." - School Library Journal , Starred " The Book Thief will be appreciated for Mr. Zusak's audacity, also on display in his earlier I Am the Messenger . It will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures. And because there's no arguing with a sentiment like that." - New York Times

A peek into what it was like for Germany citizen during World War II
I was concerned about having my children read this book do to its subject matter, so I read it first along with my 84 year old aunt. We both absolutely loved the story! The narrator is “death” but not any death that I had ever heard of before this wonderful book. It came as such a surprise to me that while and after reading this book death wasn’t scary! Death wasn’t out to get us, death is a part of life. Death in this story is respectful, thoughtful and just there to guide us on our way. It’s a beautiful story of strength, compassion, resistance and the resilience of the human spirit during the worst of times. I truly believe that this book should absolutely be required reading for all!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Paints a good picture from a different perspective.
The book has many heart wrenching moments about a time that was so difficult for so many. It also tells about the long-lasting effect goodness can have on people other than family. It is a worthwhile read to help you reevaluate what is important in life.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great Historical Fiction
This book is funny, sad, deep, and enjoyable. The point of view and writing style are very different from most books, especially on this subject. The reader is able to really connect with the main character, and the strong use of foreshadowing leaves you in constant suspense. Perfect book for high school students; not sure I would use it for middle schoolers, just because of the language.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Inspiring Novel of Hope
Content specific. Excellent condition. Compelling, endearing, and hopeful. Great for high school students. Shows how humanity is found in the worst of times, how hope for the future and for love can help survivors keep going despite the horrors of the holocaust.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A wonderful read!
I sought out this book after enjoying the movie of the same name, which is usually how I find new things to read. I was rewarded with a richer and more in depth telling, additional characters and a most enjoyable read. It gave me a greater appreciation of the screen writers adaptation. I heartily give it my best recommendation!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great read.
The truth of WW2 and the imagination of the author makes the reader live in each page but, take on the life of different persons in the page or chapters.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
