Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.
Reading this book has been interesting but getting deeper into the story I find it kind of boring. I've never really been interested in books that take place back in time. I really don't like this book. Books should be something to look forward to, like how I felt with The Micheal Vey Seires, but this book was more of a chore than a hobby. I literally had to force myself to keep reading just to see if anything interesting or exciting came. That never happened. So I decided I don't want to suffer any longer. I am retiring this book.
I don't recommend this book.
Final Robertson Rating for this book: 2 out of 5 Stars ★★☆☆☆ ⊙﹏⊙
I admire the fact you wrote about a book you simply could not finish. You are respectful in your comments of why you stopped reading. Well done.
