This was such a touching book that I would definitely recommend. I'd fought tears a few times throughout the book, but there was no stopping them by the end. I cried for the last 20 minutes of the audiobook. It was definitely her love that broke my heart. I felt it when Liesel was scared, ecstatically happy, unbelievably sad, blazingly angry, and I felt it when she loved fiercely. At first, I thought that this was going to bother me, but It's just made the book more powerful. The author actually gives the ending away before he describes the events leading up to it. Their relationship was by far my favorite aspect of the book. I think the moment I knew I was going to love this book was when she described her new papa's eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about Liesel Meminger. Not long after starting it, I found myself absorbed by the story. Let me just say that The Book Thief broke my heart. However, It had been sitting around in my Audible app for about 6 months, and I'd listened to all of my other audiobooks, so I figured now was as good of a time as any to give it a shot. Nazi Germany has never been a subject of great interest to me. Honestly, I didn't want to read this book. “Deserves a place on the same shelf with T he Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.” ( USA Today) “The kind of book that can be life-changing.” ( The New York Times) In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist - books. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. When Death has a story to tell, you listen. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. The extraordinary number-one New York Times best seller that is now a major motion picture, Markus Zusak's unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul. Don’t miss Bridge of Clay, Markus Zusak’s first novel since The Book Thief.
