The Book Thief by, Markus Zusak is a breathtaking novel about a little girl during the holocaust who was sent to live with foster parents. towards the beginning of this book the looking girl is faced with hardship as her younger brother passes, but sadly this isn't the end. She then has to say goodbye to her mother as she leaves, and unbeknownst to her is the fact that she will never she her again. The story is told form the point of view (POV) of an angel like figure. The angel's POV is fourth person omnipotent, meaning that the angel is all knowning. This style that is used makes the story unravel itself better compared to it if it was to be told in first or second POV. This book so far is nice and enjoyable and I would recommend it to a peer.
-Now that I finished this book I only have good things to say about it. Some parts are sad and others are sweet and joyful, but alltogether it is a nice soothing book. The story throughout takes many different forms and at first may seem confusing, but once accustomed to the writers style of writing this book is much easier to comprehend. This book isn't like most books about the Holocaust it takes a unusual view on it and shows it in a new perspective. As you read farther into the book you begin to understand more about the main characters and why they are doing what they do. This book was a nice read and I'm glad I chose it to read.
