Review: The Book Thief

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The unforgettable film made me want to read the book. I'm glad the phasing and sequence of events are different, spoilers don't matter to me. Salty tears were shed as I read about the last pages of the book thief and life in 33 Himmel Street.

True, when Death has a story to tell, you listen.

He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.
