Emily N’s Reviews > The Book Thief > Status Update

Max's drawing seemed like a political cartoon. I stared at it for a good minute because it was so haunting. I am so excited that Rudy and Liesel are back together.

Hearing Death spoiling Rudys fate makes the whole book much more dark. "It's the machinations that wheel us there that aggravate,perplex,interest, and astound me." Death doesn't like mystery.

Max seems nice but I want to see Rudy again. I hope he and Leisel become closer.

Max's backstory is so interesting! I love the importance of the accordion and I respect Hans Huberman man more as more even if he didn't fight that day.

Still loving the book. I wonder how max will shape the book thief's life at home now that they have another mouth to feed.

The Book Thief has stolen 2 more books in the past chapter. Also, Liesel has access to the mayors library which is amazing for her. The effects of war are slowly beginning to effect Liesel and her family. I wonder what new challenges they will have to face as the war progresses.

I'm loving this book more and more. I love the way that Death narrates the story and chooses to focus on one character at a time. You get attached to characters in a whole new way. The way that the author slightly hints at the favoritism that Death has for Liesel is great.

This book is amazing! The sensory details are superb and make you feel like you are actually living on their street. Such a great story line and Rudy is my favorite character of all time.

So far the book is very captivating. It took me a while to figure out that the book was being narrated by death but I love how unique of a concept that is. I watched the movie and I heard great reviews about the book so Im excited to read it.
