I just finished reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and I can honestly say it is one of the best books I have ever read. Extremely thought-provoking, the novel highlighted the horrors of the Second World War and just how far Hitler went to exterminate the Jews simply because they were different and didn't fit in with his perfect world. It's beautifully written and I found my emotions were all over the place as it could make me happy in one moment and shocked/saddened in the next. It also made me question death, should it be feared or should it be embraced when our time is finally over? Not the usual book I would choose to read, but I am so glad I did because it has very quickly become one of my favourites and I would highly recommend it.
