Sometimes it is easier to hear a book and like it, then to read a book and like it. The Book Thief really lent itself to a story-telling format. And I liked how it played out. And Death as a narrator was really good.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299610611688148134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023761025070745509.post-48626373690525452802010-04-12T14:37:10.506+08:002010-04-12T14:37:10.506+08:00No derision here - I loved the book.

I just thought it was a really interesting narrative viewpoint with which to tackle the holocaust - I loved the relationship between Liesl and the boxer, and although I was expecting it to all end up horribly I was so freaking happy when they were reunited at the end. I also loved the love of books that was throughout the whole story - but when it all boils down to it it was the relationships that made me love the book so much. Between Liesl and her friend, the strange and strained relationship with the mayor's wife, the friendship with the boxer... I just thought they were really well done and never made the book boring for me.Sean Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980128323285873213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023761025070745509.post-37872976017374089732010-04-12T14:32:02.786+08:002010-04-12T14:32:02.786+08:00It will be interesting to see how they do that dea...It will be interesting to see how they do that death bit in the upcoming movie - maybe they wont?!

It was...I agree, it needed an editor didn't it. It was overly long and descriptive and not in a Tim Winton way. That said I loved the idea of the narrator as death and how it challenges our perceptions of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
