‘The Book Thief’ is a good read

“€œThe Book Thief” is a unique book written by Markus Zusak. This book is well worth your time to read.

The book is set in Germany during World War II, but unlike most such books, “The Book Thief” is nott about someone who is Jewish. Instead, “The Book Thief” features a nice perspective on the life of the German citizens living in Munich at that time.

Also, “The Book Thief” is jammed-packed with tons of cool historic information. Last, “The Book Thief” has a very interesting plot. The main character is a regular German girl who really likes reading. It is nice to step into the shoes of a German living during the World War II era.

“The Book Thief” tells you that not all of the Germans living in Nazi Germany were horrible people who thought that they belonged to some sort of master race. A lot of the Germans in this time period were simply forced to do things, like join the Nazi party or serve in the army.

For me, this is probably the best attribute of “The Book Thief.” This book should be read in history class because it has the potential to help people understand more about this era. I am a real sucker for anything to do with history. While reading “The Book Thief” you will learn more about the Aryans and the Nazi book burnings.

“The Book Thief” provides a lot of information for a book that is not supposed to be a research book. If you are looking for a book that will give you tons of information about Nazi Germany, but still tells a good story, then “The Book Thief” might be a good book for you.
