| This is possible one of the most wonderful books i've ever read - i could only wish to be able to write such a touching, emotional and well written novel. Purely fabulous.
Anyone else gushing over this masterpiece? | |

| I really liked this book too. It was sent to the bookstore I used to work at as 'young adult fiction' but after reading it, I placed it on the adult fiction shelf too. People of all ages should try this book out! I was happily shocked that I liked the voice of the Grim Reaper... | |

| Just finished reading it. Loved it, what a book! I'd bought it only because I liked the cover and the blurb and had my apprehensions. But wow!
At the risk of giving away spoilers, I loved the pages which mentioned the Part and what each part featured. They just made you want to read more. I also loved the part about colours.
Anyway, not giving away more! | |

| This is so wierd! I went to a small bookstore yesterday and Book Thief was on the shelf, "Children's Fiction Ages 9-14." I really don't think the average 9-year old would like it. Or even that it would be suitable for that age. | |

| No, its definitely one of those books that although children could read it, i don't think they'd be able to get the WHOLE picture. as soon as i get some time i want to read his other books - i've heard the messenger is amazing as well. - Spoiler:
I just love how the entire novel was written. especially how personal and feeling death was. I couldn't believe how tragic the end was though, when the street blew up and she kissed her friend. I couldn't stop crying for ages after, i don't usually like sad books (and oddly for everything in the book i didn;t think it was sad at all. I felt very uplifted at the end, maybe it was cause death was so kind?
Just such a beautiful book | |
