Review: The Book Thief
The Book Thief by Markus ZusakMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
After having watched the movie first and then finding out that it was based from a book, I was deeply surprised and worried that I would keep comparing the book to the movie.
In some places I did, but in others my mind created it's own images as the book holds so much more than the movie actually did.
To anyone who is interested in The Book Thief, I would highly recommend you to read the book first, before you go on to watch it.
In my mind, I could picture each little moment, the descriptions paving way to both Himmel street and to Hans and Rosa, Rudy too. I could picture them both climbing over the fences to steal the apples, to Rudy creating an icy path to knock the other boy off his bike, to steal the priests food.
It was a book I could hardly put down, I would tell myself, just read a chapter or two and before I knew it, I had read through a whole part or two. I love the way the book is written and laid out in to it's parts, the way the narrators little insights between the paragraphs.
As a lover of books and a huge interest in all things to do with history, this book was the perfect mix of both.
The only thing I didn't like, was when I came to the last page of it and had no more to read.
