Why you should read The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak is one of the most astounding books I've ever read in my entire life. I believe that the only word that can describe it's amazingness is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"( look it up if you don't know what it means). One can only realise how amazingly great it is by reading it :) I would give this book a 5/5 star rating. Oh and this is my first time ever writing a book review so please excuse my awkwardness :| In my opinion the most, shall I say, unique(?) thing about the book is it's narrator. The book is narrated by death. It is set during World War II in Germany. As the title suggests the story is about a book thief, a 10 to 14 year old girl named Liesel Meminger. The story begins where Liesel and her younger brother are on their way to their foster parents. Liesel's brother dies on the way. At his funeral Liesel steals a book which the grave digger accidentally drops. The book, named "The Grave-digger's Handbook", is her first, but certainly not the last, stolen book. She finally arrives in Molching at the home of her foster parents, Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Hans is a really nice man who loves to play the accordion, and later teaches Liesel how to read, while Rosa, although good at heart, is a somewhat stern woman. She does the washing for the families on their street. In Molching she makes a neighborhood friend named Rudy, who she has great adventures with, playing on the streets and sometimes stealing. Overall this story is about a young girl trying to find peace in books (as we all do sometimes) while the surrounding world is so violent.
