Good morning boys. We have not yet even reached halfway through Markus Zusak's The Book Thief but I would be picking that, for many of you, this book has got 'under your skin' (of course, it may not have and that is OK). What is it about this book and Zusack's writing style in particular that is making it memorable? Is it the range of characters that he slowly reveals? Is it the ever present stench of Nazism and realistic portrayal of persecution that sits in the background? Is it the yin and yang of Leisel's toughness and vulnerability? The supporting cast (Rudy or Rosa maybe)? Are you nervous about seeing the movie and the fact that it may not add value? And what about our narrator? How clever is that? How many times have you forgotten and then been reminded? Do you see this book ending well?
