Book Description | This is the tale of the book thief as narrated by death And when death tells a story you really have to listen Its just a small story about amongst other things a girl an accordionist ,some fanatical germans, a jewish fist fighter and quite a lot of thievery. |
Editorial Review | "... a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling ... Unsettling, thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner" Guardian "Zusak's playfulness with language leavens the horror and makes the theme more resonant - words can save your life ... It's a measure of how sucessfully Zusak has humanized these characters that even though we know they are doomed, it's no less devastating when Death finally reaches them" Publishers Weekly "... this is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim ... A sense of dread prevades this beautifully written novel ... As The Book Thief draws to a close, Death says: "... There's a multitude of stories ... that I allow to distract me as I work." The story of the Book Thief, who tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one formidable and inspiring distraction" -- Lianne Kolirin Daily Express "... a moving work which will make many eyes brim" -- Marianne Brace Independent on Sunday "... it is certainly extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry" -- Lisa Hilton Seven - The Independent |
