The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Kätzchen · 03-27-2014, 08:00 PM

The Shadow of the Wind
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Here is a partial book review, by another reader:

A mystery story, a fairy tale, a love story (actually several love stories), a passion for literature, a treatise on politics, a bawdy tale, with love, hate, courage, intrigue, loss of innocence, humor, cowardice, villainy, cruelty, compassion, regret, murder, incest, redemption, and more. Add to this delicious mixture characters who come alive, and whose thoughts and feelings you will feel deeply. What a great pleasure to discover; an extraordinary first work, one which towers over the endless and repetative volumes which inhabit today's "Best Seller" lists. Read it, and become hypnotized.

It is historical fiction set in Germany during the later half of WWII (1941-1944), approximately. And it's written in a somewhat unusual style, with an unusual narrator.

I've not yet seen the film adaptation.

Frankly, I can't imagine how they'll portray some parts and I'm not ready to find out just yet because the magic and beauty of the book is still with me.

I'm a read first, watch later purist, in most cases

Currently not reading anything b/c I am anxiously waiting my new books!

One of them is called Saving Cinnamon. Can't wait to get my hands on that one!

Also, Church of Lies. Should be interesting.
