The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

When looking at the list of books this stood out to me because the movie just came out recently. Also a lot of my friends have talked about it. It has gotten a lot of good reviews from people and I thought I might give it a try.

I thought it was very interesting since it was placed during the time period of Nazi Germany. We learned a lot about it in the past couple years in history class.  I found an interest in learning about Nazi Germany and things related to it. This book didn’t relate directly to me in anyway but I just really had been wanting to read it before.

I really enjoyed The Book Thief by Markus Zusak it really helped me see the perspective of a german who doesn’t want to follow Hitler. That there were people who didn’t agree with Hitler’s decisions. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes personal narratives or stories written in the perspective of someone from a different time period.

If you have seen the movie the book might be a little slow for you since you know what happens in the end. I have not seen the movie but I plan on watching it very soon.
