After having this book recommended to me at least five times, I finally decided to read it. In the same way that The Fault in Our Stars manages to be a book about cancer without being a "cancer book," The Book Thief makes a story about the Holocaust be so much more than a retread of the all the books I've read before. I wouldn't say it is "LIFE CHANGING" the way that the quote on the front cover declares, but it is certainly a wonderful, harrowing book that will stay with me for a long time.
