Book Report: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

(image from bn.com)

I wanted to badly to like this book.... but I can't go on. The writing style is not for me, it's incredibly boring and drawn out. I am actually extremely surprised this has received such high ratings! I really enjoy reading WWII/holocaust books but this one didn't do anything for me. Part of me wanted to push on because I've had two people tell me how amazing it is, but when I asked another friend if I should waste my time finishing, she said "I wouldn't". There was my answer.

  1. *Gasp* What?? You don't like THE BOOK THIEF? It's one of my favorite books! Oh well, I won't hold it against you. I guess it's not for everyone ...

    Have a good weekend!
