5.0

i started reading this book for school, but after the first chapter, i couldn't stop. The story is so unique and gave me a whole new perspective of death. leisel's ability to start friendships with people when they needed it was fascinating, and made my heart so full.  i will say, i don't think i would've gotten into the book as fast as i did if it weren't for my English teacher explaining things, i struggled at the start with understanding parts but a few chapters in a had no problem. 

All and all-i think the book thief is inspiring and eye-opening. i will never shit up about how beautiful it is.
