Oh my God! This is a book full of emotions. This is one of the best books I've ever read. I wish the author was my friend and I could discuss this book with him.

Finally got to read this book that I have been delaying for years! And to be honest, I really regret not reading this before. The Book Thief has just officially been my favorite book (so far). It was absolutely beautiful. Hauntingly and painfully beautiful. A story told in Death's perspective is not...

I thought this was a YA book, but it isn't really although it would be perfectly fine for teenage readers. It is an experimental, albeit not very experimental novel. The novel is written in very terse sentences at times reminiscent of business English. I say that I enjoyed the style of it. IT is als...

I know it's (maybe, possibly, at least in the US) considered a young adult novel, therefore exempting it somewhat from complexity; and I know it's based on Zusak's mother's experiences, therefore prone to nostalgic washes--I know these things, but they do not change my dislike of this book. Simply p...

Description (from goodreads) - It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will b...

She discovers something about herself that she can't resist books, although Liesel can't read and write, Hans Hubermann ...

I am apparently one of the few people who just do not see what all of the hype is about with this book. I was really excited to read this after all of the glowing reviews it got, and the movie did well, so I wanted to read it before I watched the movie, but I was left extremely disappointed. I found...

And there goes my heart. What a beautiful but sad book. Despite being narrated by death itself it doesn't cease to amaze me the humanity in their words. This kind of book always get to me to a special and profound level, because even if some are fiction, the stories they tell don't stop being tr...
