The Book Thief Post #4

During my search for a good book to read for my summer assignment, I stumbled across The Book Thief.  The only thing that I knew about The Book Thief was that they had recently made a movie over it. So I assumed that some people must have found it interesting because they made it into a movie. So I dug a little deeper into what it was about, I figured out that the setting took place back in Germany during World War Two. Since I am interested in history, I thought that this would be a interesting book to read. I don't relate to this novel because we are so different. I do not face the same struggles as her. For example, I don't have to worry about hiding my books because of people burning them, but she does. After reading this I feel like this book can be interesting to a multitude of people. People who Mystery, History, and Drama are just a few that would be interested in this book. The mystery is kind of a side part because the only mystery is who is the narrator? Although this isn't the main reason why this book was written, the narrator does stop throughout the book and give you hints on who he is. The whole history part is quite interesting in this novel because it impacts the story in so many ways, there are many problems and events in this story that wouldn't have happened if they weren't in this scenario. It is a very interesting book just to read and think about how the setting is impacting the story. Last but not least, this book has lots of drama in it. The best way I could describe this book is, it's an emotional roller coaster. There are many ups and downs throughout the story, some are about the main character, and other ones involve more than just her. All throughout the book, there are ups and downs that you never saw coming. I very well enjoyed this book, and I strongly believe that if you like Mystery, History, or Drama, then you will too.
