It was hard getting into but then I realized how it is set up as Death introduces himself as the narrator, it got a lot easier to read and I LOVED this book.
I loved Liesel, the protagonist of the story. And I wonder how she would have turned out had she not had Hans as her foster father. He is so patient and loving -- very different from her foster mother, Rosa.
Books and writing figure prominently throughout this novel Liesel's fascination with the written work is a major theme throughout the book. The development of her character is very much involved with her "Book Thief" title character.
I have not seen the movie, but hope to see it on Amazon Prime soon. And I am looking forward to discussing the book at our "Books & Beyond" book group at the library on Thursday. I hope others enjoyed it as much as I have.
