Who is the book thief? (Hon English 1A)
I just started reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. So far, I have found out that the book is narrated by Death. He begins to tell the story of the times he has seen the book thief. The first is when the thiefs brother dies. Death comes to pick his soul up from a train, but does something he usually doesnt do, he stays with her and her mother. The second time is when her mother and her bury the boy. This is where the girl steals her first book. Then, Death tells how the mother takes the daughter to a foster home on Himmel Street. The mother has some kind of condition that she has to keep paying to get better, and she can no longer support her children. This book is interesting to me and I am excited to continue reading. I want to learn what happens to the book thief at the foster home. Will she ever see her mother again? When will Death next see her? I also want to see the movie, but only after I finish the book.

This sounds like a great book and it's been on my list of books to read for a while. Thanks for the insight on the book and I think it will be helpful going into reading this book.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the book is really interesting. I thought the author did a really good job with putting unexpected twists throughout the story. Also, I thought that it was really creative that the narrator is death because you don't really see that too often in books.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really interesting book! I'll probably read it sometime soon becuase it sounds like a very well written book.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting and I really would like to see the movie as well. I think that the fact that death narrates the book is interesting as well.
