The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

4.0

My immediate impression, which lasted through the book and was wow so affirmed when I read his notes at the end, was that this author would've been an MFA boy but like a sweet earnest one who I would have defended loudly in workshops even if his work wasn't my favorite. Anyway parts of this were Very Written but other parts and actually fine also some of those parts were quite beautiful and the long slow punch in the grief bone really worked for me. Would it have worked as much if my dad hadn't given this book to me??? Irrelevant
