Despite rave reviews, I found this book tedious as hell and boring to boot! I'm a book lover and a reader so with a title like "The Book Thief", I thought how could I lose. Boy was I wrong! Unfortunately this is actually a story about a young orphaned girl (the book thief) living in Nazi Germany during WWII. I abhor Hitler and anything to do with that time period and had I known this was the backdrop of the story, I never would have even thought of reading it.
It's written in Death's perspective in short jerky sentences that don't flow one into the other. It's very disjointed and irritating, almost poetic at times. I made it to page 118 before dumping it in disgust back at the library.
