Get Book Thief Audio

Overall I would rate it 8/10, and recommend it to anyone aged 13 and upwards, as it is a serious story, and may not be fully understood by those younger. Want to tell the world about a book you've read?

The Book Thief is a book that will fill your heart and break it at the same time. Every character is incredibly fleshed out and developed, and the writing is fantastic. The book does have some iffy parts to it, but I think it is fine for a mature 12-13 year old.

The Book Thief was not banned. However, the book was challenged several times because it contains a lot of details and sensitive content related to...

The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Catcher in the Rye, by JD Salinger. The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. The Color Purple, by Alice Walker. Ulysses, by James Joyce. Beloved, by Toni Morrison. The Lord of the Flies, by William Golding.

In The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, Liesel Meminger comes of age because of her family and World War 2. Shoulder Shrug. She comes of age because she stole the book out of the Nazi book fire. The reason the Nazis are burning the books is so the pope doesn't get information from the Jewish authors.

The average reader, reading at a speed of 300 WPM, would take 7 hours and 6 minutes to read The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Categorized as "Young Adult" but perhaps more because the female protagonist is a child, this story will break your heart on one page and on the next give you comfort. You can't help but care about the characters. The narrator, Allan Corduner, is truly amazing as he brings life to Death, the book's narrator.

Nazi Germany is a challenging setting for a coming-of-age story, but that's the case with Markus Zusak's popular novel The Book Thief, which was turned into the film that opened nationwide this weekend.
