"The Book Thief" Happened


I started this novel by Maskus Zusak two days ago, and I'm sure I'm going to finish it tonight. I never read that fast. EVER. I haven't been...consumed by a book quite like this in a while. You know, the kind of book that you plan your day around so you can read. There's nothing about 'The Book Thief' that I can complain about. It's a truly, truly lovely story about real people living real lives during one of the darkest periods of human history. A story about the power of books and words, and of human decency. And it's all told from a very unusual point of view. Probably the best book I read in 2013.
