"Brilliant and hugely ambitious...Some will argue that a book so difficult and sad may not be appropriate for teenage readers...Adults will probably like it (this one did), but it's a great young-adult novel...It's the kind of book that can be life-changing, because without ever denying the essential amorality and randomness of the natural order, The Book Thief offers us a believable hard-won hope...The hope we see in Liesel is unassailable, the kind you can hang on to in the midst of poverty and war and violence. Young readers need such alternatives to ideological rigidity, and such explorations of how stories matter. And so, come to think of it, do adults." - New York Times, May 14, 2006 " The Book Thief is unsettling and unsentimental, yet ultimately poetic. Its grimness and tragedy run through the reader's mind like a black-and-white movie, bereft of the colors of life. Zusak may not have lived under Nazi domination, but The Book Thief deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel's Night . It seems poised to become a classic." - USA Today "Zusak doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five : with grim, darkly consoling humor." - Time Magazine "Elegant, philosophical and moving...Beautiful and important." - Kirkus Reviews , Starred "This hefty volume is an achievement...a challenging book in both length and subject..." - Publisher's Weekly , Starred "One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years." - The Wall Street Journal "Exquisitely written and memorably populated, Zusak's poignant tribute to words, survival, and their curiously inevitable entwinement is a tour de force to be not just read but inhabited." - The Horn Book Magazine , Starred "An extraordinary narrative." - School Library Journal , Starred " The Book Thief will be appreciated for Mr. Zusak's audacity, also on display in his earlier I Am the Messenger . It will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures. And because there's no arguing with a sentiment like that." - New York Times

    A peek into what it was like for Germany citizen during World War II

    I was concerned about having my children read this book do to its subject matter, so I read it first along with my 84 year old aunt. We both absolutely loved the story! The narrator is “death” but not any death that I had ever heard of before this wonderful book. It came as such a surprise to me that while and after reading this book death wasn’t scary! Death wasn’t out to get us, death is a part of life. Death in this story is respectful, thoughtful and just there to guide us on our way. It’s a beautiful story of strength, compassion, resistance and the resilience of the human spirit during the worst of times. I truly believe that this book should absolutely be required reading for all!

    A Fabulous Read!

    I bought this for our Book Club selection this month and was a little skeptical because it's considered a Young Adult Fiction, and lately our bookclub has picked a few lame easy read books so it was a very pleasant surprise to get a Y.A. book that you can really dig your teeth into on so many different levels, and given the subject matter, it's surprisingly a page turner as well. My guess is that this will be the new millennium's "Anne Frank" and will be required reading for high school students, and that's a good thing - it's got something for everyone -- teenagers and adults alike. It's written beautifully, creatively, narrated by Death himself, and the message is so sweet and pure; it's all about love and kindness vs. evil. Like Ursala ...

    The Book Thief

    I purchased this book because it was recommended to me by a relative, who said it would be a good summer read. The title intrigued me, as books are a passion of mine. When I began reading it, I could not put it down! I was mesmerized by the poetic turn of phrase in the author's style of writing, AND by the use of "Death" as the main voice, or narrator, of the story. Many times I found myself reading back over a phrase, simply for the enjoyment of its images and metaphor. In addition to the pure enjoyment of the language, the story is thoroughly captivating. You care about the people in this book. I learned so much about Nazi Germany from the viewpoints of ordinary citizens who did not support Nazi operations, and, particularly, through the eyes of a young German girl who develops a ...

    The Book Thief

    The Book Thief is one of the most powerful books that I've ever read. Zusak's refreshing and sensory-soaked use of language is poetic and deeply moving. The story is about a young girl who comes of age in Nazi Germany. She shares life (and life-giving words) with her foster parents, a boy named Rudy (Who is her best friend and desperately wants a kiss:), a Jewish man who's hidden in her basement, and her neighbors that huddle together in air raid shelters as Allied bombs screech down from the sky. If you read this book, be prepared to have your heart scratched raw. Then, as the narrator speaks his last words, be ready to yearn for more.
