The Book Thief

The Book Thief
from the author Markus Zusak
~Here Is A Small Fact~
You are going to die .

"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. . . ."

Set in Nazi Germany era , The Book Thief lulls us with the story of Liesel Meminger [whom I suspect might have been half-Aryan only ]. The story opens with Death- the narrator , which makes this book even more irresistible in its uniqueness - introducing himself , followed by flashbacks and accounts on Liesel's life ,from the moment her biological mother left her ,until her death .After Liesel's parents were send to the concentration camps , she lived in Himmel [Heaven] street with her new German Family , the Hubermanns , and, on the way ,found who her nemesis and friends were in the street while the bombs were falling all over Germany .

If you expect this book to be "another boring historical accounts" , you're dead wrong . Markus Zusak had employed an unique style and plot ,and a use of language so beautiful that I lost track of time while reading this excellent Novel .To me ,this is an adorable novel , a dazzlingly beautiful yet heart-wrenching tale . It reserved a place on my shelf the moment I read the first chapter , for some reasons . Never had I seen such a novel before and so alluring is this tale that I fell in love with it the moment I started reading it .
