Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry." -- Lisa Hilton Sunday Telegraph 20070121 "...a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling...Unsettling, thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner." Guardian 20070106 "A moving work which will make many eyes brim." -- Marianne Brace Independent on Sunday 20061231 "This is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim. A sense of dread prevades this beautifully written novel. As The Book Thief draws to a close, Death says: "There's a multitude of stories that i allow to distract me as I work."
