Has anyone read a book called "the book thief"?

Question

this book is written by death. its not a horror, it is death narrating about a young girl in n**i germany who was a communist orphan. she loves books and goes about stealing books from book burnings (communist books, jewish books) anyway, i started reading this on holiday but i dont know who wrote it. can you tell me (if you have read it) who it is by and (i got to the part where it says rudy stein was going to die but not by the freezing water) what happens after that. its really bugging me because it wasnt my book and i had to leave it there!

Answer 1

Yes, it's a great book. Well worth reading.

Answer 2

Markus Zusak I think is the author;s name.  The ending is not the most positive ending, but I don't want to say anymore (in case you, or anybody else reading this, reads this brilliant book)

Go to your local library and borrow it

Answer 3

Sophie got the name, it is excellent, well worth the read.  You could pick up from a second hand shop very cheaply or borrow from library.

Good luck and happy reading.

Answer 4

The book is by an author called Markus Zusak.

I read the book a while ago, and I can't remember the whole story in the book. I do remember that it has a very sad ending, where the whole of her street is bombed and covered.

If you can get hold of it, try and read it. It is an awesome book, if a little upsetting.

Answer 6

This is an absolute fantastic book, i seriously recommend you borrow it from the library and finish it, as us trying to tell you what happens in the end would not do it justice, i borrowed it from the library and the day before it was due back i asked to renew it and they said i couldn't as someone else was waiting for it, so that night i was up till 3am finishing it, and the author is markus zusak, you can pick it up quite cheaply on amazon and play.com.
