The 100 Book Challenge

"One was a book thief.  The other stole the sky." This is a popular book and after seeing all the good reviews, I decided to give it a go.  Let me tell you, this story has left me speechless.  It is no where near what I was expecting.  Historical fiction isn't usually at the top of my genre list, but the satisfaction of this amazing book is encouraging me to read more.  The narration of third person, Liesel (the main girl character), and Death itself already drew me in quickly when I first picked it up.  I love the style of how this book is told, incredibly interesting and unique. On the way to her new foster parents, Liesels younger brother doesn't make it.  After his funeral she finds a book dropped by a gravedigger and takes it, which begins the story of the book thief.  I easily fell in love with the characters in this book: Liesel was able to easily connect and make such good relationships with others, even though she had gone through so much on her own
