Basically, this story is about a girl named Liesel Memimger who has to go to live with another family that isn't her because her mother coudn't take care of her properly. She goes to live with Hans Huberman and Rosa Huberman in the context of a Germany in World War II.
Liesel is going to pass through so many things along the story and the most important of all of them is that she's going to meet a jewish escaping from Holocaust and her family is going to help keeping him hidden in the house's basement.
The book develops the relationship between Liesel in the jewish guy, Max Vanderburg which is going to create a new whole vision of life that is imposible to not feel touched by it.
I've never cried so much with a book like I did with this one. It's incredibly beautifully written, it has a very special and particular narrator that must to be discovered by the reader. Well, it has so many things that I like that it's very difficult to say all of them, but one of my favorite parts definitely is one moment so simple yet so ironic. In a specific part of the book, Rudy Steiner (Liesel's best friend) covers his face with coal to look like Jesse Owens, a black olympian athlete that he admired. The funny thing was that Rudy was the ideal german kid with blond hair and blue eyes, but he wished to look like a black guy who was despised by the nazis and Hitler and considered unhuman.
It has so many good things and the final is tragically beautiful. Totally recommended :)
Regards!
I haven't read this book, I'm a little done with all these stories about War World II, jewish, and evil Nazi people, I'm mean, there's a lot of wars in the world, like the WWI, Vietnam or even Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bomb, I haven't seen many books about that.
ResponderEliminarSee you.
Your review was very good, I got interested in reading the book although I'm never attracted by touchy and corny books.
