The Book Thief

4.8

It's kinda crazy how I managed to finish this book in one-sitting during a 13-hour trip from the Bicol region to Manila. It kept me occupied throughout the entire trip so here's what I think of this book.

This book is by far one of the best I've read this year. It's the perfect epitome of what professional writing is all about. You can learn a lot from it. It will open your eyes from a lot of things. It will change your views and perspectives in life. There's humour. There's love. There's war. There's the depiction of the conflicts in families. There are tragic moments and heartbreaks. But despite all of that, it was overall a positive book. The idea of Death narrating the entire story is what really blew me away as well as the tale of the Holocaust (since I'm a fan of war books and stories).

This book had a lot of horrifying moments in it. But despite all of that, it greatly deals with the lives of the people experiencing the war and it's like you're actually following how their life goes. It is just incredibly touching. You'll get attached to the characters most especially Liesel (aka the book thief).

This is just very fantastic and it should be on everyone's book shelf. I can't recommend it enough. PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE READ THIS BOOK!
