Summary: Best book I read in 2008
Comment: I have read more than 30 books last year and I have to say The Book Thief was an amazing surprise. In fact the book left around my bed for about 6 months. My wife received it from a fried from Brazil during their visit last July but never started to read it. Few days before the end of the year I decided to give it a chance. I have to say I could not stop to read it to the end and, since than it stills in my mind.
This is a very creative story, easily readable and totally enjoyable, no matter the age of the reader. For sure a book to become a movie soon.

Summary: A wonderful story
Comment: I normally wouldn't grab a book from the young adult section (or even the historical fiction section) for myself, but I am SO GLAD I did! This is a wonderful, but sad story told by Death. The setting is in Germany during WWII and it follows a young girl's journey to try to lead a normal life during the holocaust. Not being an avid history buff, it really gave me a better perspective into the history of that time. After I bought the book, I found myself unable to put it down...even into the wee hours of the morning. I finished the book in 2 days and then purchased a copy for each of my sisters. Don't be discouraged by the book's targeted audience or that it is "historical" fiction. I highly recommend this book - but beware: you may need to make the time to read it cover to cover, it is THAT good!

Summary: Amazing story..
Comment: Amazing stuff, I really loved this book!
The characters are unforgettable, a profoundly moving story for anyone to read!
This was the 1st novel of Markus Zusak that I have ever heard of or read, but it was well worth it.
Liesel is one character that I will never forget from a book!
Hans Hubermann, Max Vandenburg, Rudy Steiner all truly touching characters, brought to life vividly by Zusak.
The writing is amazing, the message about the power of words is absolutely true...
Highly recommended book!!

Summary: Hard to find a book to follow-up with......
Comment: Once I opened this book, I was running with the Book Thief! I wanted the Book Thief to continue her quest for the words of the world.
This book is one of the greatest I have ever read....fear, love, compassion, loyalty, friendship, and life all intertwine in this wonderful story. I laughed, cried, giggled, imagined, and cried some more while reading this book.
Thanks to you Mr. Zusak for such a wonderful tale of life, survival and death of Ms. Liesel.
