The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Fiction. Based on the tragic past  of a little girl

Genre: Tragedy, History, Suspense

Once upon a time, there was a town where night were long and  the Grim Ripper was the one who was telling his own story.

In the town , there lived a little girl called Liesel Meminger who wanted to read for the sole aim to escape from reality, however Liesel's foster parents did not have the money to buy her books. In order for her to read books, she would  steal it from others. After a while, she addressed herself  to be a book thief  who was escaping from  her tragic past. Every night she dream brother dead with one eye open and the other one still dreaming.

 This book Is very peculiar, when I say peculiar I'm referring that the role of the narrator is  different comparing to other tragic books. As you can see the narrator is the Grim Ripper telling the story of Liesel. In the introduction, the Grim Ripper was telling some facts about himself, his life, and his work. Afterwards he would later described  Liesel's life. While reading the story, somehow the Grim Ripper gives you many hints what is going to happen in the future also he likes to play using verbal irony towards the  readers. However, The Grim Ripper never hesitated when he confessed that he was going to face Liesel one day. Indeed, I highly suggest this book to readers who are interested in tragic stories and  historical events of  World War two.This book will mark you forever.
