The Book Thief takes place in Nazi Germany during the rise of the Second World War. I find the book extremely interesting because it was narrated by a character or by third person, but it is narrated by death itself. The main character is Liesel, she is a foster girl who has an obsession with books. She steals books and her foster father teaches her how to read. She falls in love with her neighbor, Rudy. He is anti-Nazi, bony skinny, and lives in a house along with six other children.
This story shows the hard times of the pre WWII along with a girl and her passion -- books. At the end of the book, a tragic even happens.
