Review by Denver Public Library customers |
| I loved The Book Theif By Markus Zusak! It was the first book of it's kind that I have ever read. My best friend has been pushing me onto books like it since she read Fever 1793. Set during the Holocaust, Lisel Miminger is the main character. It is written from the perspective of a humorous Death and opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Holocaust books, and the awesome writer that is Markus Zusak! |

Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors. |
