The Book Thief review

Now I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of the book thief in some way,shape or form. But I picked this gem up for 20p in a car boot sale and it has been the best 20p I have ever spent before.

Firstly,the book was signed and I legit nearly peed. It was such a big book I instantly thought "Oh my god I'm going to get so bored of this".You know what they say,don't judge a book by its cover.

I didn't know the storyline of the book thief before I read it,especially as I wanted to watch the movie once I'd read it. (The book is way better than the movie).Basically the story is about a girl who lives in Nazi Germany during the war with her (foster?) parents and she steals books. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give it away because it is so amazing,so I'm going to leave it there.

The story was written in the perspective of death and I have never been so intrigued by a narrator before. The author personified death and I admire that so much!  Since death is focusing on Liesel you alreay know she will die at some point (sorry!). But I still had to read on because it shocked me more than anything.It shows the brainwashing of Nazi Germany and how some people just weren't having it, it was so real that it upset me. 

Liesel makes a friend called Rudy (THE BIGGEST SWEETHEART EVER) who adores her.I'm going to put it that way. He becomes so determined to complete the Hitler youth that it's just awful. It's sad once you put yourself in his position.

Each and every one of the characters in the story are adoring. They're so real that you love them.Because they're basically your neighbours next door. Just with some secrets. And you see how much they have been through as you read on in the story. It has you hooked from the first page.

Just read the book,it's enlightening. 10/10.
