A positive review of The Book Thief

I am happy to say that I have finished The Book Thief and that it is a book I would recommend for all those that love to read. Some things I liked about the book are: The narrator is the character Death. When someone dies the narrator says, "I was there. During I was basically everywhere." I think that is really cool that the author chose the narrator to be something unique. In this book the author gives little hints/glimpses into the future or end of the book. For example, that such and such dies with his mouth open. Another thing in this book that I love to see in books is the significance of one particular item or phrase. Some things that are significant in this book are Liesel's papa's accordion, the books that Liesel steals, and the way Rudy always asks Liesel for a kiss.

This sounds really cool, That is an interesting way to write a book. :D

Was it hard to follow at any time?

in some places of this book it was a little hard to follow especially the Prologue. Because it was talking about different colors and what they stood for.

Very Interesting! I am curious to see how the author does the things you have talked about. To expand on your comment, did the prologue make sense once you finished the book?
