Customer Review

Since "The Diary of Anne Frank," we know that perhaps only a child can both move us, preserve some of purity and enlighten us a fresh look at the cruel and absurd world of war. In this, Markus Zusak is part of the tradition with her touching Liesel. She is the one who steals books as the most precious good to those who burn them in bonfires as the most dangerous threat. The author situates his story in Molching, small town near Munich. He shows that the Germans can not be reduced only to Nazi villains. There are also those who have been persecuted (as Jews, Communists, or simply by lack of enthusiasm ...), those who resisted or even those who have only experienced the events. There are those who died in combat, under bombardment or in the camps. There are those who have lost someone they loved each other deeply. There are those who are poor and war savings even less.

I do not say I did not like this book, but I'm still far from sharing the infatuation that visibly arouses in most readers. Despite a desire to renew the genre (the narrator Death, typographical peculiarities), the bottom is for me a little agreed. It's a good idea to choose death as narrator since occupy much space in the war anyway. The author chooses a full Death empathy that comes over the souls relieve plucking lives. It's a bit obscure the fact that she works in the war together with Hate, Hunger and Poverty but why not this bias. Unfortunately, this incarnation did not really convinced.

Despite beautiful moments, the text appeared to me more entangled in a rather oafish style. For beautiful moments, I loved eg Rudy's admiration for the champion Jesse Owens, the link between Hans and his accordion, instead of books, Liesel weather or notebooks Max. I really missed out by against other poetic attempts. I have not really understood the interest of such variation around the colors that remains untapped finally. In conclusion, despite a moving subject, touching characters and moments full of grace, some stereotypes and a cumbersome style prevent me from being completely in love.
