RE: Book Review: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I've recently read this book too! It's interesting that you see the things through the eyes of death.
It's also one of the few books that tell a story about World War 2 (at least that I have read) from the viewpoint of the Germans people. It shows that not all of them were bad and a lot of them were struggling with the war too.

Sort:  

I really like that perspective too. Seeing the story through Death’s narration makes everything feel more reflective and definitely weird but in a good way. And I agree with you about the portrayal of German civilians. It adds a lot of depth to the story because it shows how ordinary people were also caught up in the consequences of the war. I was born in 2000, I have read so many books about the world war but this is one book that helps understand the complexity of that time better.

It’s a powerful read, Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. Have a good day!

You're welcome! Have a nice day too!
