The Book Thief

               The Book Thief is written by Markus Zusak. It takes place in Europe during the Holocaust. So far, the book is a bit confusing but it is very good. After reading it for a short time, I realized that the book is narrated by Death. I thought this was really weird but also a really cool and unique way to tell the story. Since there was a lot of death during this time period, it makes sense to narrate the story in this way. The story is about is a young girl named Liesel Meminger, aka, the Book Thief. Her brother dies when she is young and Death comes to take his soul. I don't know if the book ever comes out and says that the narrator is Death, but it becomes evident because the narrator talks about how nobody sees him and he comes and takes souls from dead bodies. That sounds pretty creepy but it's not really that weird in the book. So far, I think this book is pretty good and I'm excited to keep reading it.
