The Book Thief is a book filled with love, hate, mystery, and sorrow. You can't predict whats going to happen next, especially the ending.
When ever you think of World War 2 you think of the holoucast,but this book is different. It's about a innocent family living through WW2. I believe the reason why the author wrote it on this topic is because it's the other side of WW2. Most WW2 books or stories are about the Nazi's and the holocaust.Liesel and her brother were adopted into a family that doesn't like Hitler and they hide a jew named Max while all the jews are being caught and put into concentration camps. I believe the author achieved his goal because it brings a diffferent perspective to a WW2 story. The Book Thief was made for people who like reading about WW2.
The Book Thief is a very slow paced book. It's also a very long book because it is slow paced. The author takes his time into getting into the all the action and interesting parts of the book. The author is very descriptive, he makes things interesting by bieng very descriptive. There is alot of conflicts in The Book Thief from the Hubbermans hidding a jew too papa giving bread to a jew infront of a officer. They all relate to one thing, thats disobeying the furher. The elements that drive the suspense is when they hid Max (Jew) and them not liking the furher (Hitler). The plot is probably the strongest part of it all. The plot is what makes this story mostly.It's the suspence, conflict, climax, and resolution.
The charecters play a huge role in this book. Especially Hans, Rosa, Max, Liesel, and Rudy. The charecters seem real because the author makes them have emotions and they seem to do what real people would do. Liesel plays soccer with rudy and Rosa does laundry for rich people basically, and Hans paints houses. The Author bases everything off of Rosa she is like the man charecter other then liesel nd hans. Rosa is very mean at the begining but then she starts to care for liesel and the thingss around her, like at first she never cared for max but then over time she really cared about him especially when the bombings and things occured. I really can't relate to any of these characters because my life isn't anything like theirs.
I mean All in all i would recommend it but then again if you don't like WW2 or anything that has to do with WW2 then this wouldn't be a book i recommend reading.
