The Book Theif by Markus Zusak

     Hello reader! Today I'm reviewing The Book Theif by Markus Zusak. This is a terrific book and I really hope it sounds interesting to you!

     Nine-year-old, Liesel Meminger's younger brother has just died. It's sometime between 1939-1945. Her mother (supposedly a communist) is putting Liesel up for adoption. During the burial,  Liesel notices a book lying in the snow. She can't read and has always wanted to know. When the grave diggers are off and her mother unaware she snatches the book up and tucks it into her coat.

     Liesel is later adopted by Hans and Rosa Huberman and moves to Munich, Germany. Her new parents treat her well and send her to school.  After a hard day, she returns home, insisting Hans read to her before bed. So, the two sit and begin reading The Grave Digger's Handbook.

      Liesel's passions for books grow, until it comes to the point where she's steals from a book-burning bonfire. Throughout the novel she steals a total of nine books.

     The book is written from the point of view of Death. The book is slightly harsh so if you're not a fan of hitting and beating–be warned!

     I'd tell you more, reader, however I'm trying to avoid spoilers! I hope I've helped you look for something to read and  I strongly reccomend this novel.

Remember to keep reading and be nice to others,
