The Book Thief has been reviewed many times over. I bet everything that could be said about it, already has been. But... as a Jew, reading this book, I feel obligated to add in my two cents. So bear with me. This is going to be a very personal review. In fact, it's going to speak largely about thing...

I finally read The Book Thief after one of my friends lent me her copy of the book. I was expecting to either love it or hate it. But I'm somewhere in the middle. It wasn't a bad book.
