just started The Book Thief and find it very hard to read, I will probably go on with it but wasn’t what I expected. hope the story is worth it.

I loved it, I read it so many times. Hope you like it too.
Most people think it’s amazing ! But not me
I’m reading it too and finding it a little confusing x
I had the same problem…..I put it down and didn’t start it again…..The Kite Runner same thing, but after the 3rd try I loved it !
I very nearly gave up on it but persevered and ended up loving it – stick with it!
If its the one Im thinking about, the movie was excellent…didnt read the book.
Keep going I thought it was amazing
It’s one of the best books I have read – keep going.
Tried it twice. Reckon I will watch film and give up on book!
I really struggled and almost gave up as got very bored. You must keep going! It gets much better and becomes a more gripping read. Although I did expect more from the ending it made me blubber on the train. Definitely one that stays with you
I’ve just finished it and it was a struggle. It got a little better near the end tho x
Excellent book, the beginning is heart rendering and intense.. though well worth continuing with as it truly is a beautifully written and well thought out story
Superb book made me cry?
I loved it
I know several friends who have given up – don’t it’s worth continuing. The first couple of chapters are a little difficult to understand. Don’t often cry when reading books but this one…..
Lovely book
One of my favourites.
Great book. Also took a while to get into it, but once i got used to the fact it was narrated by death I really enjoyed it.
I couldn’t read it. I preferred the movie xx
It took me a while to get into the mind set for how it is written but I loved it, sort of unexpectedly. Cried like a baby. Haven’t seen the film and am afraid to as not sure how well the concept would translate into film…In the end the way it is written was what I thought made it special x
Keep going x
Film was’nt a big hit so it probably is ok
keep going.
Definitely keep going. The book is much better than the film.
Not finished it yet. I find the writing style incredibly intriguing. Amazing turn of phrase. I haven’t seen the movie but I can’t help wondering how well the book translated into a movie as I think most of the appeal is in the writing rather than the story.
Keep reading!!
The movie was great, I loved it, but haven’t read the book.
Wonderful book, stick with it.
Fabulous book, keep going
I didn’t like it. Was very disappointed after all the hype
Hmmmm still undecided….read and watched, one thing to note tho, the film is v v tru to the book.
Loved it
Really fabulous book, persevere
very difficult book. Good but difficult
I felt the same way. It gets better.
I felt the same and put it to one side. I will have to give it another go.
Loved it.
aye, that’s too bad, it grabbed from the beginning and didn’t let go
it took me a bit to take to it, but im glad i did very good story 🙂
It’s an amazing book. But it’s literature, not a light read. Enjoy.
It’s brilliant, so sad it made me cry. My husband would come home to find me crying ask me what had happened and I would say it’s the book”☺
I didn’t get why people raved to be honest just thought it was ok.
I don’t get how people think it’s heavy going. l found it an easy read. It’s narrated by death so has to be read through that perspective. Keep going, it is a fab book.
I felt same way..but everyone told me to keep reading. So glad I did! Excellent book.
it just sounds like bad english to be honest, or like im reading a very long poem that doesnt really make sense. at first i thought the author just didnt know english well? i dunno..i will keep going though because i never stop reading a book.
I was confused about the point of view at first. Keep reading!!:-)
Keep reading. One of my top books of all time. I loved it x
I had to start it two or three times, but by the end I’m so happy to have read it. It’s part of my top 10 list!
Try to stick with it.
It’s worth it!
