Book 98: The Book Thief

Many of you might have noticed in the past that I find it hard to write about things that make me feel. The Book Thief is no exception.

It was a very happy book for something about Nazi Germany but even though you knew the ending was coming it still killed me.

This all being said it was a fantastic book. Unlike most books about WWII it didn't dehumanize Germans and really showed the conflict within the nation. It was a very emotion book.

I feel like I should at least comment on the unique narration style. It was really enjoyable. I liked the little facts that it threw in here and there. At the same time, sometimes I didn't like them when they told me things that I didn't want to know. It made the book.

I give this book 9.5 accordions out of 10. It's beautiful. Stunning. Everyone should read it.
