TITLE: The Book Thief
AUTHOR: Zusak, Markus
GENRE: Historical Fiction
DATES READ: 2/5/2014 - 3/5/2014
MY RATING: 4/5
This book was a Christmas surprise from my mom. The bigger surprise was that I had the same book waiting for her, all wrapped up under the tree (you would be amazed at how often we have done this).
Within The Book Thief, Zusak takes a difficult subject matter and molds it into something brilliant. He presents it in a manner that is poetic and grimly beautiful; through the eyes of an innocent young girl, and through the eyes of someone who has much more experience with loss. Very few books make me cry, and this one did. I will forever adore the character of Hans Hubermann.
This book was truly touching. I hope my mom reads it soon!
