Welcome to the first ever installment of honest book reviews!
in this blog i will talk about and give reviews on the books which i have recently read.The first book is "the book thief" by Marcus Zusak.
The book thief,which is a no.1 international bestseller has
got wide critical acclaim from respected magazines and newspapers.
when a book is praised so much you have to read it even if you are reading it a bit late and i can honestly say there is little to nothing wrong with it.
The book thief is a story narrated by death about the events taking place in world war 2, but more specifically around an orphan called Liesel who is adopted by a german family. Life is quite eventful for Liesel between stealing books and food with her best friend and befriending a jew who lives inside her basement.But beneath all this is just a simple story .The way the writer has made such a complex story sound so simple and a simple story so complex is amazing,though at times the message in the bold text may break your flow everything just fits in the end. the book truly shows you life in the age of nazi germany and the story that is narrated by death is the most realistic form of imagination possible. It is a must read!
