The Book Thief--Markus Zusak

3.71 STARS

Narrated by Death, this touching story of humans and all they are capable of was loved by most members.  Through conversation, even our most hesitant readers were able to see the beauty of Zusak's story and usage of words.

Liesel Meminger is a stealer of books.  Set in Nazi Germany, Liesel sees the value of words as she and her foster family hide a Jew in their basement.  This award winning book is not an easy or fast read, but one we all enjoyed talking about.
