Nazi Germany 1939. A young girl makes her first act of disobedience by picking up an object that was sitting in the snow. Liesel Meminger was at the graveside of her brother when she noticed the object. Liesel then picked it up and across the front read "The Gravediggers Handbook."
Taken place during the Nazi war Liesel Meminger loses her younger brother on a train. She then has to go a foster home which her foster parents are Hans and Rosa Huberman. With liesel's love affair for books, her foster father Hans teaches her how to read. Liesel feels comfortable around Hans more then Rosa.
Rosa is described to look like a wardrobe sailor. She is described as a sailor because she has a mouth like a sailor and as a wardrobe because she is tall. Liesel is a powerful young girl who makes it far along the road. Hans is an accordion playing person who had a bad past he learned from. Max is another person who lived in the Hubermans basement. He lived in the basement due to being homeless. The Hubermans were kind enough to let him stay. This was a big risk because it was wrong for Jews to have a German body in there household. It wasn't so bad because Max was a kind and sweet person who connected with Liesel.
Zusak the author of this novel makes his characters personalities seem real. There emotions and everything are on point. These characters are wonderful. A story of words created by an outstanding author who knew how to get his readers quickly adapted to. This novel has a good display of figurative language. His words can put a clean image of the story in mind. Zusak has a good setup for this book. He puts death as the narrator. He uses death as the narrator to foreshadow. He uses this technique by having death spoil a part of the book. As you read you'll come across the part from the foreshadow. It's pretty unique. This format of the book is marvelous and makes readers think.
Over all this is a great book. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read. Is book needs some tome to read but it would be worth it because of all the good words and figurative language. I honestly thought this was a great book even though I missed some of it.

The book "The Book Thief" written byMarkus zusak I believe to be a realy good book. a tale of love loss recovery and tragedy. In this book there are several key aspects that help to make it as enjoyable as it is. I would recommend this book to other high school students because of its cheracters, its setting, as well as how it made me react.
The characters in the book The Book Thief seem to come right off of pages. Markus Zusak is really able to capture the emotions and portray them in the readers mind. Liezel is a main character of the book while reading I had no trouble visualizing all of her experience and emotions. Rudy another character is a relatable trouble maker who really gets close to the reader as the book progresses. These characters are the star of the show and the best part of the book.
The setting in the book is a compelling source emotion attached to the characters as we'll creating underlying tone of the book. The setting of "The Book Thief" is set on Hummel street Nazi Germany. This is essentially the poor part of town even more so than the already poor Germany. Because the book is set in the poorer part of town this creates an exciting and suspenseful foreshadowing of hard times to come. "The Book Thief" was also exciting because of the way it made me react.
This book I can honestly say is one of the best books I've read and I don't like reading. Everyone in the book creates a strong connection between the reader and the character . Every character was imbedded in my mind because of how Markus Zusak portrayed them. No matter who it was the book thief or there friends even the antagonists created a strong emotional tie with me. This book made me react stronger than most of the books I've read and I will never forget it. That is why I would recommend this book to high school students.

A book behind World War II, thievery, Nazi's, and death.
A book behind World war II, a girl who has a rough life, which gets worse. Although she makes the best of it, she has power. The power of words that drives her through fears from past, present, and future. The book thief they call her; Liesel Meminger. This story will put you in a suspense state with amazing theme, plot and characters.
I strongly recommend this book for high-school students because of one of the themes. The power of words; This theme is so huge in this book, but also huge in reality. Voice is such a big thing that everyone should have, and the book clearly shows this. The word shaker, which was a book written to Liesel before Max left really brings this theme out. The word shaker reminds Liesel of how powerful her words are. Shaking words, from books, her lips, and even from the lips of others. It reminds her to plant, but also shake words, of friendship, love, and hate.
Another reason why I recommend this book to high-school students is because of the plot. The plot that this book goes through is so sad, but inspirational. This book goes through a serious of events that break, and make Liesel. One strong heart breaking event that Liesel goes through is the death of her closed ones. Papa, Mama (Rosa), Her brother, and even her real mother, although she didn't leave, she still left her. Another strong even that Liesel goes through is keeping Max in her basement. Max was her hope, her inspiration, and her best friend. With max leaving, she though it was over, but with him being in her mind, she pulled through. This is what makes the plot so interesting. The fact that Max left her, and after that it all went down hill, she still had hope. Left over hope from her best friend Max.
This book would also be strongly recommended because of the characters. Most of all characters play a huge roll in Liesels' life. Mama, Papa, Max, Rudy, and even Death. Papa and Mama are the ones who take Liesel from her real mother due to her inability to take care of her, and they teach her so much without Liesel even realizing it. Papa teaches Liesel how to read, which is something so huge to have in her situation. Mama teaches Liesel how to be strong, how to be strong even at her weakest state. Rudy; Rudy teaches Liesel love and friendship. Rudy does everything with Liesel and keeps her very strong and worthy. Rudy keeps her distracted from everything going around outside of her, and although Rudy is in-love with her, Liesel doesn't realize she loves him too, and finally Max. Max is probably the most important person to Liesel due to his hope. Max shows Liesel so much that she can do with her words and knowledge. Max is also a huge part of hope for Liesel, although he leaves her, Liesel will always remember the advice and words that he had given her.
This book is such an amazing and powerful book that everyone should read. It teaches you lessons that you may need in life at some point. Despite its effort taking time to read, this book is an inspirational message to everyone that should be noted.

In 1939 through 1945 Hitler killed and brutally abused the Jews. He used violence to gain power and strikes fear in people's eyes. The author Markus Zusak wrote the novel The Book Thief to show the point of view of the people who were against Hitler.
I recommend the novel because it shows emotion on how the author feels towards the Book Thief's characters. Marcus Zusak explained their emotions and each one of them had individual characteristics throughout the story. Like when he had Liseal explain the way max's hair was blond but was darkening like a candle. I think that this symbolizes the way his innocence was slowly fading away.
The authors purpose in my eyes was to show how the people who weren't for Hitlers ideas helped out by doing little things such as Hanse and Rosa. They each had their own opinions and beliefs twords what they believed was right. Hanse didn't what the others thought.he seem a opportunity and took a chance by giving the Jew a piece of bread and later suffered the consequences.
My reaction on the Book Thief is a sad and inspirational story. It motivated me and taught me how to do what I felt was right and to not follow others. This novel showed me that no matter how many people are doing the wrong things never follow in there foot steps. I appreciate the way Zusak didn't just tell another story of how the Jews were affected but the way others were harmed as well.
All in all, Markus Zusak is. Great author and I strongly recommend that reading The Book Thief will be something that you will not regret.

The Book Thief
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.

The Amazing Book Thief Review
The book thief is a very good book to read. It has many details and very specific characters. The author uses vocabulary that makes the book pop out. The book has humor and lots of sadness. At first, the book was boring and then I didn't want to read it anymore. But, a few chapters later, the book gets so interesting and emotional that you won't stop reading. It is packed with plots that will change the way that you read.
One of the main characters is Liesel Meminger. She is an orphan until she gets adopted by Hans Hubberman and Rosa Hubberman. Hans loves to play the accordion and rosa loves to talk smack. Although this is set in Germany during WW2, she has a blast because she is German. Liesel makes a friend along the way named Rudy with hair color of lemons. They go through an adventure of plots and they grow up together.
There is a lot of intense vocabulary in the book thief. For example, ponderous means labored and dull. Another word is infamy. It means a state of extreme dishonor. There are way more words that make this book pop out including the language that is in the book. For example, Rosa is always saying saumensch to everyone which meanss pig in German; including saukarl, which is a more insult meaning for pig in German.
The book theif has its funny moments and its sad moments. For example, Rudy is in a nazi camp and he falls in poop. A sad moment was when liesel's brother dies and she becomes an orphan. There are also moments when Rudy and Liesel play soccer outside and the conversation starts to get funny because of them talking smack to eachother. Those are some funny and sad moments. I wouldn't want to ruin the book.
In conclusion, i recomend this book if you are into WW2, history fiction, and adventure. It is a long book but once you start reading, it is hard to stop. It is a very well book put together by the one and only Markus Zusak. Give the book a try and see if you like it or not.

The Book Thief is an amazing book. Over all I would give the book a 4/5 because the book does an excellent job explain the setting, plot, describing characters and getting to your emotions, but this book is very time consuming if you only have an hour a day to read it.
The first reason I recommend The Book Thief is because Markus Zusak does an awesome job building suspense throughout the book. One way he does this is by adding tragedy and sadness into the book. Zusak also adds foreshadowing To pull the reader into the mysteries the book has to offer. He also builds the conflict, climax and resolution very well. This is the first reason I recommend The Book Thief.
Another reason that make this a great book is the setting. The Book Thief take place in Nazi Germany during World War II. This plays a big role in the book because Hitler was in power and if people had resistance to Hitler they would get bombed. The characters are influenced by the setting because they were poor and had to steal things that they couldn't afford.
This book affected me by showing me what happened to Jews when Hitler was in power. It also shows me how poor people were in Nazi Germany. I can relate to the book because I have lost family members and I have had my house destroyed. These are all the reasons I recommend The Book Thief.

The theory of the book
There are many different books. However, the book I recommend is " The Book Thief". This book is a good book for the provided reasons. I will tell you why and some examples of the book.
The author describes conflict,climax, and resolution step by step. there are many ups and downs in this story. There are big and small conflicts, climax, and resolutions. He gets readers stuck with a problem and by three chapters later he gets in touch with them and resolves it. Some elements that built suspence in the book is that some of the authors thoughts where in the book, there was setting shifts, and he would tell us what will happen later on in the book. I believe that the plot is stronger than other elements because with the plot the author will explain every element and he would not just say it he will describe them anf use strong language. All in all, I just told you how the plot is in the story.
Style is in this book too. Some of the "intellectual qualities" of writting of Markus Zusak is that he will tell us his thoughts in the book and provide hints. for example, "His eyes were the color of agony" (393), the author uses figurative languague. Also, "... dominoes were falling like dead bodies in the living room" (410), the author will also compare many things. Some of the "emotional qualities" of Zusak's writting is the actions of characters and the descriptions of hoe the sky will look like. For example, "...an ocean sky, with whitecap clouds." (389), the author will always describe the sky, whether good or bad, to the whole towns feelings. The dialogue of this story is strong. I know this because, the author usesdifferent language and strong vocabulary. "The Book Thief" has style!
I strongly recommend"The Book Thief". I recommend this book for three reasons. First, I know this is a good book to read. This is because it helps you in your english, such as, vocabulary and understanding. Another reason, is that the author Markus Zusak, gives good descriptions of what is happening in the story. Like most kids they are not good with books, with this author's descriptions, you will not get lost on what you are reading. The best part is that you can see the movie after you're done reading the whole book.
I believe that the author wrote on this subject because he was part of the Hitler issue or a family member and wanted to say his point of view in the story. I think he didn't use anothe subject because he was interrested on how we will react on the subject and our interest of Hitler. The genre of this book is historical fiction. The elements that this book is historical fiction is that the Hitler issue is the historical part and the telling of the story id fiction. The intended audience is people who love history, and enjoy stories that happen in real life.
In my own opinion, "The Book Thief" is a really good book and you should read it for fun and not as an assignment in school. This book provided many thinking and can help you in your life in various types of ways. In other words, you should check out this book soon.

A World Full Of Mystery! -- Love,hate, all in one.
Imagine a world where words are more powerful than actions. That's "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. You and anyone will dig it. Historical but interesting, you'll learn about hate, love hidden in fake hate, and love. It may look boring, but trust me when I say this, it's one of the only books I actually enjoyed reading.
The Book Thief's characters tell us about the language they used and show how powerful words can be. At this time hitler, the leader, had brainwashed the Germans against the Jews, and the Nazi party was going on. Rosa would call Liesel or girls saumench and boys saurkel and they would listen right away. The words that you may find offensive, are just normal to them. The characters show bravery because they defend themselves and their loved ones. They show live towards each other. Rudy always showed and reminded Liesel how much he loved her. Even though Liesel never showed Rudy he loved him, she actually loved him a lot. This is how the characters language they use and how powerful they can actually be.
"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak is a Historical Fiction novel. In this book you learn how times were like in Germany. At this time, world war 2 was going on and it shows how the soldiers were chosen to go to war. They would start training for war as early as at the age of 13 years old. One of the main characters, Rudy, was chosen to go to a training. They then start to show the hate towards the führer. The town was finally bombed and nothing's was left, the war was over. The Jew they've been hiding can finally come back and visit Liesel with out hiding.
The Book Thief's setting tells us how Germany was at the time Hitler was the leader. Everyone was controlled and everyone had to follow the führer's rules. Jews would walk through the streets on their way to the concentration camps. The place was always cold and the weather described the characters mood. Since the wars was going on, they had to hide from bombings. This shows how the setting describes Germany when Hitler was leader.
"The Book Thief" is a very interesting book. I would recommend it to everyone. The book may look boring and long but trust me, it's worth every single page, all 500. You'll enjoy reading this book as much as I did. This book affected me because now I would enjoy reading more, it brings a reward at the end of every good book. This is my reaction towards "The Book Thief".
