You probably don't remember this at all, but when the movie Forrest Gump came out it was hyped up to be the best movie basically of all time. I didn't see it in the movie theatres. I assumed that it couldn't be as good as all that and I wasn't going to waste my money. I let all my friends and my entire family go see it before I did because I've got a stubborn streak. I knew it couldn't be that good and guess what? It was! I cried the first time I saw it and I wasted no time jumping on the "I can quote every line in Forrest Gump" bandwagon. It is seldom that such a treat happens. This book is one of those treats. Believe the hype. Check this book out. Set aside some time. Get an apple and a glass of milk and dive in. You will love this book. It's about Nazi Germany during World War II. It's narrated by Death and it tells the story of Liesel Meminger...the one and only Book Thief. -Till next time! Suzanne

11-27-06 This book is just as wonderful as Suzanne described it as. It would appeal to adult readers as well as to young adult readers. If you read it you will never view "Death" or the Holocaust in quite the same terms. A really great read!
Thank you so much Suzanne for telling me about this book, i recently went to Germany, and i was able to see some of the sites mentioned in the book...not Himmel street, but Dachau and Munchen...i left my copy of the book with my tour guide, and she left it for someone else to find...such a great read.
