The Book Thief by Markus ZusakMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
There were so many different emotions going through me reading this book and it's hard to pinpoint what emotions happened when. Amazingly, for a while I thought I was unable to "feel" the right feelings at the right moments; this book is based in a very depressing, tragic time in history, and as well written as it was, there were a lot of moments where I felt detached from the book and its characters, but at the same time knowing the extent of the grief, tension, and darkness presented. And then there were moments where I DID feel the sadness.
It's hard to put into words at all how I personally felt about The Book Thief, so I'm going to try my best to go back through my notes and put my thoughts together. In the end, it might just be that I'll have some very simple opinions formulated.
On the aside, when my BFF finishes this book, we still need to have our Mini Book Club discussion. So I'll include some points from that discussion into my review as well.
Simply put, I really just really enjoyed reading The Book Thief. It was quite the pleasure.
Review to come. Soon, hopefully.
