Books, war, love, and mind-blowing sadness spin together in this compelling and complex young-adult novel set during WWII in Germany. Death, a dour, sarcastic figure, chronicles the distressing, tumultuous life of young Liesel Meminger, a foster child in a poverty-stricken neighborhood. At the age of nine, the practically orphaned Liesel is sent to the Hubbermans just outside of Munich, where she is taught to read by her kindly foster father and given tough love by Rosa, his wife. The little girl's obsession with books becomes a consuming passion fueled by some life-changing thievery. Along with Liesel's joys and sorrows, and Death's observations on them, are the stories of Liesel's best friend, Rudy, and a young Jewish man hidden by the family. This stunning novel is a testament to the never-ending horrors of war in a gripping, highly original story. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year and a Kirkus Best Children's Book of 2006.

DEATH'S NEW ROLE, NARRATOR?
I found this book to be one of the most interesting books, I've read. It was unique, and quite enjoyable. It was an accidental find, and quite a treasure! I even lent it out to a few of my friends, and they ended up getting their own copies...

The Book Thief
I love this book so much that I bought several to give as Christmas gifts this year.It really made me think how difficult it is to do the right thing, even when others arenot making the same choices. It also reminds me that even small things canmake a big difference in the lives of other people.One of the best books I've ever read!

This book made me cry (it was soooo good).
The title says it all. It is rare that a book will move me that much. This is one of them. Very well-written. I immediately gave it to a family member so they could enjoy it, too.
