Why I Like The Book Thief

I like The Book Thief because it is very interesting reading from a different view. What i mean is that most Holocaust books are written from the view of a Jewish person that is being hunted down, but in this book it is from the point of view of a German girl. Plus, i have never read a book about a girl stealing books from a person. Most of the time when characters in books steal they steal food and clothes and things like that. Instead, Liesel finds out that the mayors wife has a big library full of books and so Liesel goes and steals the books that she want to read. The only thing is that the mayors wife knows that it is Liesel that is stealing her books, so really Liesel isn't stealing at all. I also like the book because it is very interesting to read about how the Holocaust affected the Germans too. I would recommend this book to any high school because there are lots of big words that I didn't know the meaning to. Plus, there is some language that some people may not like.

Hey Becca!
The Book Thief sounds like a great book! I think I am probably going to read it, because I have never read a Holocaust book from a German point of view. I can't wait to read it!
Thanks! Anna
