The thief in the dark of the night...

A mother, a brother, and a little girl. A Stranger following them throughout their life. And by the way we, The Holocaust has started as the family is traveling across Germany. The brother dies, maybe the stranger isn't really such a stranger, and the book thief strikes for the first time.

So starts the first pages of Markus Zusak The Book Thief. Liesel goes on to live with a truly amazing foster family who treats her as her own. In this gripping story of Death, love, family, and coming of age, Zusak brings you into the book and portrays and entirely different side of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

Over the years, I have read books on the Holocaust, yet I had never considered there were normal everyday  people who lived in Nazi Germany but may not have supported it. This book is another book to change your perceptive.

I am going to warn you. All does not end well, but it a book that should be read.

Happy Reading... on to The Secret Life of Bees
