The Book Thief by Markus ZusakMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book got me hooked to it from the minute I started reading it . Written in a beautiful manner , this story is being written from Death's perspective . This is the first story which I have read in which the author tells in the beginning only what's going to happen , so that there is no suspense but when I finished the book , I felt that even though I knew what was going to happen , when it actually happened in the story I was left spellbound by it . I know the value of words and what books can do to a person , there were certain parts in the story where I felt like I was the Book Thief , the feeling when I entered a library for the first time , when I saw so many books for the first time in one place and I was allowed to read them all , the way I touched those books , just feeling them , that happiness , I could relate to it when the Book Thief went through it . The innocent childhood love , games and fights which Liesel and Rudy had , made me laugh and I went back to my childhood memories :). The caring father Hans and the different way of showing love by Rosa , the need to live by Max , it was an emotionally gripping story told in a somewhat humorous way . I think every book lover will be able to relate to some character or some part of the Book Thief . Awesome book , glad I came across this one :) . What do you book lovers' think ?
