Yeah, at least Zusak remembered to add in the translation to some German phrases. If not, I wouldn't be able to completely follow it. Truly, it's one of the best and saddest books I've read. Here's my <a href="http://www.booksloveme.com/2008/09/the-book-thief-by-markus-zusak/" rel="nofollow">review</a> of the book. :D I found the swearings funny, especially when they come from Rosa! Yeah, at least Zusak remembered to add in the translation to some German phrases. If not, I wouldn’t be able to completely follow it. Truly, it’s one of the best and saddest books I’ve read.

Now your thoughtful review has convinced me to pick it up. I've been stumbling upon few books that are exploring this subject, including, also written for young adults, The Boy in Striped Pyjamas.

I love what you said about it being a book about life as well as a book about the Holocaust. It’s such a great book.

Same time period, partly, simply written but complex ethical/moral issues. Very interesting!! One of the best books I've ever read. Have you read “The Reader” by Bernhardt Schlink?
