"It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . ."
Last week, I finished The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.. I know. I know. I should have read it years ago. For some reason it never rose to the top of my to be read pile, but I was determined. Something told me I had to read this book.
This was my very short review on Goodreads:
I am sure I should attempt to give some kind of detail here, but I've spent the last few days immersed in the most masterful use of words I think I've ever read. I have no idea how a review could possibly convey what I feel right now.
Unquestionably, this book now ranks in my top five reads of all time.
