book report: The Book Thief
The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
This is a very creatively-written book aimed at a young adult audience. It's a little edgy for young adults, I think - there is a lot of death and profanity for a YA book. Okay, so most of the profanity is in German.
The book is set in a small German town in the days leading up to the Holocaust, and is narrated by Death. The main character is a little girl who steals books. When I first started reading it I thought it was gimmicky, but I got sucked in and really liked it by the time I got to the end. Well done.
