I didn’t really like it either. The way it was written made it really hard to get into. Maybe I’m just spoiled because I’ve seen the amazingly well-done movie adaptation so many times. Lol
Absolutely necessary reading in my opinion! It’s one of the best, most life like portraits of regular German people and what they struggled with during the Nazi era. Very compassionate, and shocking, and very much from a child’s perspective.
My students liked it. They readout with another teacher.
Great book!
Excellent book. Highly recommend it:)
It’s epic
One of best books I read 4.8/5
:like: <3
Loved it!
I think I’m the only person in the world that didn’t care for it.
No, you are not. ?
Hahaha. Any reason behind it?
I liked the story, but not the way it was told. I didn’t like “Death” as the narrator.
Ah, yes I have heard about this perspective from few people.

It’ll tear your heart to pieces. Have tissue handy.
I liked it a lot. ❤️
I’m one of the 1% who didn’t liked the book.
Me too. ✋
I didn’t like it either. The movie adaptation was way better than the book, in my opinion.
Wasn’t much of a fan. Took me three times to get thru it. Being from Death’s perspective through me off.
Agree.
I watched the movie only. A good one. The “Death” talking is the best part. U reminded me to take a look at the book… thanks 🙂
i am still with this book …..this is really a good one
I love the book so so so so much I honestly think it’s my favourite book <3

One of my top 10 for sure absolutely amazing, a different take on writing
Tried So So Hard to Get Into It But Just Couldnt Make It.A No For Me.
Same
Absolutely loathed it from the first page. Gave up after I think chapters 4 or 5. Not worth the paper it’s written on.
I used to think it was like that at first until I continued and found the real gems..
It did pick up towards the middle of the end but still wasn’t worth the time. IMO
omg i love it so much, my copy has tear stains through a few pages ???
Loved it made me cry ?
Loved this book destined to be a classic
love it ???
Love the Book Thief!!
Love it!
One of my most favorite books ever. My highest recommendation. PS: The movie was also good, but read the book first.
Perfection
I loved it. Without giving away anything I love the choice of the narrator.
Half of the commenters have given away but happens. ?
Love it!
It’s astonishing. Read it and let it into your heart.

Stop reading our comments and go read the book is my suggestion!
I will be gifted this book *I asked for it actually* So it’ll be a few days before I get it. Sigh..
