This book is about Liesel Meminger’s life in Nazi Germany during World War II. She lives with her foster parents the Huberman’s after the death of her brother. Liesel soon becomes fascinated with books and wants to learn how to read. However, reading is strictly censored in Germany and books that aren’t in line with their beliefs are burned. Liesel believes in justice and disagrees with the Nazi beliefs which causes her to protect Max Vanderberg with her foster parents. This book is narrated by Death, the person who oversees the lives of the people and takes them when they die.
I would recommend this book to people who are fascinated with history and who are interested in philosophy. This book contains serious topics, so it is better for older teens. The point of view of this book really made it interesting and unique. I loved the character development, especially with Liesel. I love the overall message of the book as well.
