AC Summer Reading 2015- The Book Thief

The Book Thief sat in my library for a year, and I never picked it up because I didn't find the summary interesting. But after going through this story, I can say that this book is one of my all time favorites. This is the only book I have ever read that has made me cry 3+ times in less than an hour. It’s going to haunt me for awhile, the ending to this story. Out of the times I’ve cried, I think that the one that made me cry the hardest was after the bombing, when Zusak was describing everything in detail from Liesel’s point of view— from finally kissing Rudy, to Liesel sitting between Mama and Papa. I’m definitely going to be rereading this story. Although next time, I’ll be smart enough to wait until day time to read the ending so that I don’t have to be worried about waking anyone up with my tears.
