I just think I built it up a little too much, and I didn't quite live up to all the hype. But even so, I'd still recommend it, and I'd love to see the movie someday.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595637616624406342.post-4748254323991788352014-08-01T23:51:26.708-04:002014-08-01T23:51:26.708-04:00The Book Thief remains one of the most (if not THE...The Book Thief remains one of the most (if not THE most) beautifully and powerfully written books I've ever read.

Ultimately he didn't 'have' to read it, but I did and am so glad I did. A wonderful book.

I learned about the book from a tour guide in Germany. It tells the story of Nazi Germany from a boy's perspective - a true story too. It made a big impact on me.

And for some reason, your description of the second book make me think of Madeleine L'Engle's A Swiftly Tilting Planet.
