A book where you have many spoilers but what matters most is how the story plays out. "The Book Thief" is what the title says it is about a book thief. The book thief is a girl named Liesel that lives in Nazi Germany with her foster parents. Her life is explained by death and she goes thru a rough life but keeps going to find better.
Leisel is the main character in the story she lives in Nazi Germany. The street she lives in is named Himmel street. She witnessed her brother die when she was on a train on their way to Himmel street. Her real mother left her to get taken care of by Rosa Huberman and Hans Huberman. Liesel goes thru a lot of pain and also love.
Rudy Steiner a trouble maker also known as leisels best friend. Rudy likes leisel but leisel doesn't accept him and she loves him but she doesn't know it. Rudy always tries to get leisel to kiss him when he does her a favor Leisel always says no. Rudy is always there for leisel and she met him when Rudy was pretending to be Jesse Owens and he raced her. Leisel loses many loved ones in the story they all have great and distinct personalities.
The authors purpose is to entertain and inform the readers. The author informs us about what is happening in Germany. In the story the author gives an example that not everyone supported or liked Hitler. Some Germans hated how Hitler ran things in Germany he treated the poor really bad and gave them crap while, the rich ones were still treated bad but better. even the mayor had money problems in Germany. the Jews weren't the only ones to suffer from Germanys dictator.
Death is the narrator of the story and he saw leisel three times while picking up dead people. death sees the world in different colors and is very descriptive of what he sees. he picked up Leisel's diary from the trash when he saw her the last time. Death tells us how the story goes and spoils the story before it happens but the intriguing part is the way it happens. Death was the best choice of a narrator and that is why I recommend this book to be read.
