Books and bombs

I would recommend this book for ugh school students.The  Book Thief tells the story of  liesel, and young girl sent to live with a foster family in World War ll Germany . Where she learns to read with her foster dad Hans and Max the Jewish man hiding  in there basement . Young liesel finds joy by stealing books and sharing them with others . This story takes place on Himmel st. Germany . During World War were the Jews are being exterminated . 

This story takes place on Himmel st. Germany. This story was during World War 11 were the Jews are being exterminated.  Zusak put two main events that changed the story for me. One is when Max (the Jew) showed up at their door on Himmel street. That was shocking because it was right in the middle of the war and was very dangerous. The other was at the end of the book when bombing occurred on Himmel street were all of Himmel street died except for the poor liesel. 

My reaction to this book was more alike surprising because I don't know how one girl can take as much pain the the young liesel. She's been throw a lot from a train crash to everyone around dies around her . I give this book a thumbs up . It is a we'll righten and recommend it to everyone.
This book is well recommend for high school students.
