So far in, The Book Thief, Liesel has been left by her mom at a foster kids program to try and give her a better life. I admire this because she knew she couldn't provide properly for her two kids. However on the train ride to the drop off for Liesel and her brother, he died. So it didn't get off to a very good start. Liesel immediately mad a connection with her foster-dad and didn't like how her foster-mom complained a lot and yelled. Liesel is a shy girl but given time with someone can open up and be comfortable. But, at school Liesel was very far behind all the other kids her age and had to go back to learn the alphabet. Some of the kids didn't want to be her friend because she was stupid but there was one boy who didn't care. I haven't learned much about him but I'm predicting that he will eventually love Liesel and she will love him back.
This book is structured differently. The story is told from a 3rd person point of view from a Nazi soldiers eyes. In the beginning of the book this confused me a lot, but once you get used to it, it should be fine. Overall so far I am liking the book and we will see what happens later on and if I still like it.
