I just started reading The Book Thief a while ago, and my first impression was how amazing the writing was. It was very poetic, unique, sorrowful and expressed the author's tone strongly. I especially admired the fact that Death himself was the narrator. He spoke of the three moments he saw 'the book thief' [Liesel Meminger], which were three points in time Liesel witnessed the death of someone or was affected by their death.It was an interesting decision for the author to decide to, instead of focusing on a Jewish Holocaust victim, write about a German girl that met all expectations but still had a rather tragic life. I like her character and think that it was a very good and original idea to write about her. So far, I would reccommend this story.
This book sounds fun and amazing to read. Mabe that will be my next book to read.
