Summer Assignment #4-The Book Thief


After reading this book, I didn’t really like it that much. It was too boring for me. I chose this book because it sounded fun to read about Nazi Germany and Hitler but I wish there was more tense moments for the reader to focus on.

I saw personal connections with me and the book because everyone has their secrets. Whether or not they are big or small. I have mine and Leisel and her family had theirs. Hiding a Jew in that time was a bit bigger and dangerous than any that I have but you get the idea. During the beginning of the book I thought that because death was narrating the book that it would somehow kill her because of her reading books and hiding Max but it didn’t until later in life I guess. I feel bad for Rudy only because he liked Leisel and always brought up that she should kiss him but she didn’t.

I would recommend this book to someone who likes reading a lot. I don’t so I need an action packed book to keep me interested and this one didn’t do that. It would be different with someone who likes reading because they wouldn’t mind getting through the boring parts unlike me. Overall it wasn’t bad but I wish I would have picked a different book.
