The Book theif
Liesel Memenger's Journy during world war II, and her experiences, from being taunted by her best friend Rudy for a kiss, who both loved eachother, to hiding a fugitive Jewish Citizen from the concentration camps, her story, told trough death, a tired entity, with no more awareness then us, just a job he detests, as even death is touched by this young girls struggle.
His style (Markus Zuzack) was not unlike that of shakespere
who reveals the ending of his plays.
Leisel lives on to witness the death of rudy, kissing him, praying, for him to wake, he never does. She steals books forknowledge, and money from her kind foster family to mail letters to her mother which will never be recieved, through the bombing love hate and fear, The character development, description, the story. Through each reading I cry more and more, laugh more and more and I know these characters exist outside of the confines which so many others are kept, and together, Liesel walks with death as an equal, I miss them
Already...
