The Book Thief

Zuszck, Markus. The Book Thief. NY: Knopf, 2005. Pages 552. (Historic Fiction; Poem Review)


The Book Thief,
Narrated by Death,
Nazi Germany.

Liesel little,
Brother died on train,
lost her mother too.

Moved to a,
Foster home with new,
Father and mother.

She leans read,
With father Hans and,
steals books ‘cause loves words.

But when Hans,
Takes in a Jew, Max,
World turns upside down.

This is an amazing, can’t put it down book that captures the heart of everyone who reads it. True it is a bit slow and weird in the beginning, but I guarantee you will like this book so much it will be one of your favorites. This really helps to show what it was like during the war and show a different side of thought. It is also narrated by Death what more does a person want?
