Book Review of The Book Thief

The Book Thief
sabayrac avatar reviewed on + 34 more book reviews


The story wraps around 1942-1943 and Hitler's quest to rid Germany of the Jewish population. Although many review this book with 4 & 5 stars, I can only allow two stars. I plodded thru the book and found many questions as the story line seemed to duplicate or change what was already written. I understand the heartache, struggles and desperation of the time - but this book also confirms German's willingness to stand by and watch the Holocaust take place among the very business people and neighbors in the community. Complacency and Apathy!! I did not enjoy reading this book.
