A review by lauren_h
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
3.0
3 stars for originality.
3 stars because I didn't hate it.
3 stars because I cared enough about the main character to be happy how it ended for her.
But goodness this was a tedious read! I found the constant interruptions by the narrator more distracting than clever. I also was not sad at the end because the narrator tells you multiple times what will happen. Some people may enjoy knowing how things will end and reading to find out how it gets there. I'm not one of them. I also could not get into the authors use of metaphors.
