The Book Thief

The Book Thief is personally one of my favorite books. It is about a girl named Liesel growing up in Nazi Germany.  When I first started reading the book, I considered stopping. The first few pages were somewhat confusing, and I couldn't seem to really get into the book. I didn't understand the point of view, or the format the book was presented in. I decided to give up on the book. One day, while in ELA in school, I found that the only book I had with me that day was the Book Thief. I was forced to read it. After finding out that the book was told from the point of view of Death, I got intrigued and really got into the book. The Book Thief is a perfect balance of humor and drama. The Book Thief is a beautifully written book, and overall a terrific story of friendship and loss.
