Even death has a heart

-Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

‘The Book Thief’ tells the fictional story of a young girl growing up in Nazi Germany in 1939. When the story begins Liesel Meminger cannot read but by stealing an old copy of ‘A Gravedigger’s Handbook’ she convinces her foster father to teach her slowly how to read. Along the way Liesel begins to understand the awful and awesome power of words as a political world built on a dictator’s own words spells death and destruction for millions of people. The story itself is narrated by Death as he travels to and fro from place to place and the entire narrative is spun with a bleak, black sense of humor and sense of human understanding as Death spends his days living in the filth and destruction of wars and murders and, at rare moments, kindness and beauty even at the very end.

Can you please do a book review of "The Book Thief"?

Yes, sure. Its one of my favourite books ever.

Firstly i wanna say that i don’t actually rate books. so im gonna write a few things about the book.

Basically its a historical fiction i’ll say. The story is about a girl who had faced a lot more than any normal girl does. The girl is quiet different, calm and exceptionally a words lover. She likes to read and memorise words. In the book she meets a new foster family called the hubermanns. Liesel (the girl) gradually begins to feel affection towards the family. She also meets her childhood love Rudy who is the neighbour of the Hubermanns. In the middle of the story she meets Max (a jew refugee) who makes Liesel understand her true passion. Liesel gradually finds out her real passion which is actually books (more precisely words) through Max and Hans(liesel’s foster dad).

The book is actually based on the world war 2 time period. The situation of Germany at that time is partially visible in the book. And the hatred of Jewish people towards Hitler can be felt clearly through this book. The book is a masterpiece of literature I think. It makes you love books and inspires to write.

i am totally a new blogger ill say so i really don’t know how to write or blog. Sorry for my mistakes and everything. I really tried my best.

Silly Game Time: Grab the nearest book and open it to a random page. What's the first complete sentence on it?

Das oberste Buch auf dem Stapel war Der Pfeifer, und sie las laut, im sich besser konzentrieren zu können.

The top book in the pile was The Whistler, and she read aloud to concentrate better.
