Book Challenge: The Book Thief


Book: The Book Thief by Mark Zusak

Challenge: Read a book set in a place you would like to visit.

Set in Nazi Germany, The Book Thief is the story of a girls' life during the reign of Hitler as told by Death. Liesel finds solace in books why her world crumbles around her as she realizes the impact Hitler has had on her life. She finds she must decide for herself what to believe in. While this book is phenomenally depressing at some parts, it is still a wonderful read. I was very intrigued by the creativity of the narrator being Death himself.
