I started out a little disappointed as I couldn't figure out the narrator and the random bolded side stories were distracting. Thankfully, that turned around and I was able to thoroughly enjoy this book!
During WWII, Leisel is dropped off to live with foster parents for her safety. The Book Thief tells her story of how she coped with the tragedies and changes that have occurred, one of which, stealing books. She shows incredible determination to learn to read and write when it seems all around her she is set up for failure.
The last 200 pages were a tough go as I was constantly tearing up. This is a great book and it has lived up to the hype!
