I absolutely love this book! It's been a long time since I read it but I remember the night when I finished it very well. I lay in bed, there were 100 pages left to read and I was very tired but the book really thrilled me and I wanted to know how it went on, so I finished it at 6 AM and I was very excited about what i've read so I couldn't sleep, therefore I started reading another book that let me coming down to earth.
The book thief is a story for reflexion and I have to say that it filled my eyes with tears (as it did with many other people in this forum).
I was very surprised that there were not that many cliches, because there are many people who think the germans are wearing leather trousers all day and stuff like that
So I really enjoyed reading the book thief and I appeal to everyone: Read it! It's worth it!
