the book thief is a good book. correction: it is one of the best books ever written. basically, it is about this girl named lisel who lives in a town outside of munich during world war two with her foster parents. her foster parents decided to take in a Jewish refugee named max. the whole book is all about growing up and losing things you love and falling in love. and to make it even more interesting, it's narrated by death.
when i first read the book thief, i skipped the long, slightly boring middle section and i had no idea what was going on in the ending. so i went back and reread it. and when i finished it, i was sobbing. i know that i cry at the end of a lot of books, but the book thief really really made me just want to curl up in a ball and bawl like a baby. the writing was so good and the ending was so bleak, but so uplifiting. i suggest that if you haven't read it, you should. and don't skip any of it.
so, yesterday, i was trying to find out what the author, marcus zusak, address is so i can write to him for advice on how to be good at writing and to see if he was going to be speaking near me soon. but it turns out he hasn't written anything since 2006, which is when he wrote the book thief. if any of you know a way to contact him, i'd love to know it, since i really do want to write to him
