 The Book Thief January 9, 2009
I just finished this book and it was amazing. I became very emotionally involved in the story which is an important characteristic in deciding whether I like a book or not. I was happy to find a great book to read after a string of not so good ones.
Great Book January 7, 2009
This is a wonderful book. I can't understand why it is marketed for young adults except for it "looks" like a "genre book". It certainly goes across all ages as a well written book. Every page is insightful. The narrator is amazing.
Best book I read in 2008 January 5, 2009
I have read more than 30 books last year and I have to say The Book Thief was an amazing surprise. In fact the book left around my bed for about 6 months. My wife received it from a fried from Brazil during their visit last July but never started to read it. Few days before the end of the year I decided to give it a chance. I have to say I could not stop to read it to the end and, since than it stills in my mind.
This is a very creative story, easily readable and totally enjoyable, no matter the age of the reader. For sure a book to become a movie soon.
A wonderful story January 5, 2009

I normally wouldn't grab a book from the young adult section (or even the historical fiction section) for myself, but I am SO GLAD I did! This is a wonderful, but sad story told by Death. The setting is in Germany during WWII and it follows a young girl's journey to try to lead a normal life during the holocaust. Not being an avid history buff, it really gave me a better perspective into the history of that time. After I bought the book, I found myself unable to put it down...even into the wee hours of the morning. I finished the book in 2 days and then purchased a copy for each of my sisters. Don't be discouraged by the book's targeted audience or that it is "historical" fiction. I highly recommend this book - but beware: you may need to make the time to read it cover to cover, it is THAT good!
