The Book Thief
The New York Times has the feeling that The Book Thief is “Harry Potter and the Holocaust,” but it’s so much more. Originally this book was written for adult audiences, but as it has been translated into other languages, more young adults have been attracted to these 500 pages of narrative and commentary by Death. (BTW- it’s a quick read.) Yes Death is the story teller and he does a nice job. He isn’t too much of a spoiler but he does use your senses to help you see. I like that about “him.” From “silver eyes” to “lemon hair,” I can see it all. Well I hope you all enjoy this. It’s a good transition for where we head next! I was thinking it would be good to end our discussion on the power of words. So keep that in mind.
