Book Review Of The Book Thief By Markus Zusak

I read the “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak, in which a little girl is thrown into an unknown world without her mother or brother. The main character of the book, Liesel, becomes a foster child in Germany during the 1940s. The book is over a span of years and we grow with Liesel. I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to anyone. It is set during the Holocaust, but it is still a coming of age book. I liked this book because the writer managed to write a book about a girl growing up and Nazi Germany. Neither one took away from each other and it all flowed very nicely.

I wanted to read every book by him and so I picked up “The Book Thief”. Zusak is one of the most amazing authors that I have read. He makes words come alive and uses such interesting descriptions. His word choice is unique and unlike anything I’ve read. This book was no different. When I began reading this, I was taken in. It felt like I was experiencing the same things that Liesel was.

It gives insight to how life was for Germans and not just Jews during the Holocaust. I loved everything about this book and I am very glad that I decided to read
