Críticas
...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 Published On: 2007-01-06
A moving work which will make many eyes brim. -- Marianne Brace ― Independent on Sunday Published On: 2006-12-31
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." The story of the Book Thief, who tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one formidable and inspiring distraction. -- Lianne Kolirin ― The Daily Express Published On: 2007-01-05
Brilliant and hugely ambitious ... the kind of book that could be life-changing ― New York Times Book Review
...breathtakingly good. -- Becky Stradwick, Buyer, Borders ― The Bookseller Published On: 2006-10-21
A magical tale. ― Elle Published On: 2007-02-01
...a fantastic book...it packs a huge emotional punch. -- Angela Lockton, The Golden Treasury, London ― The Bookseller Published On: 2006-10-20
A tonic much needed amid the ominous menace of an era of such calamity. -- Alexandra Hamlyn ― FT magazine Published On: 2007-03-10
Quirky, engaging and beautifully written ― Woman and Home
His faith in the transformative power of storytelling bestows this gentle but worthwhile novel with its own narrative strength and power. -- Claire Allfree ― Metro Published On: 2007-01-04
Absorbing and searing ― Washington Post
A major achievement ― People
Deserves a place on the shelf with The Diary of Anne Frank - set to become a classic ― USA Today
Zusak makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable in the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse 5, with grim, darkly consoling humour ― Time
Zusak's playfulness with language leavens the horror and makes the theme more resonant - words can save your life ...It's a measure of how sucessfully Zusak has humanized these characters that even though we know they are doomed, it's no less devastating when Death finally reaches them ― Publishers Weekly
One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years ― The Wall Street Journal
'Elegant, philosophical and moving. A work to read slowly and savour. Beautiful and important ― Kirkus Reviews
Both gripping and touching, a work that kept me up late into the night feverishly reading the last 300 pages ― Cleveland Plain-Dealer
Zusak's novel is a highwire act of inventiveness and emotional suppleness ― The Australian

Wonderful, haunting and thought/moral-provoking book that goes right up into my all-time favourites. Amazon.es kind of sucks for English books as it definitely takes longer for them to arrive than if I buy through the dot uk Amazon and, if I remember rightly, postage is the same.
DEFINITELY SHOULD BE READ!!!

I must admit it takes a little while to really get into the story and understand the way it's written, but after you get past the prologue, this book really gets going.
WARNING : *Do not read on if you don't want to discover anything about the story*
The story revolves around Liesel (the book thief) and where she lives with her foster parents, Himmel Street, which translates to Heaven Street. However, the funny thing is, it is the complete opposite to that and is considered not a very pleasant place to be.
As the story unravels, the Hubermann family become closer to each other and Liesel forms a special relationship with her father, Hans. When they discover something on their doorstep, they all work together to make sure they are not found out. Because if they were, it ma be fatal... Please read this book!

As a historical fiction book, the story is based in Nazi Germany, around the central character of a young girl, Liesel, and the relationships she holds dear. Zusak pulls on your heart-strings through his beautiful story-telling of the sadness, tragedies, loss and loneliness his characters face. And, through wonderful characterisation allows the reader to sense the vulnerability of, and feel the need to protect the characters he has created.
However, I felt some aspects of the novel were just not very well constructed, and interrupted the flow of the story and the level of engagement I had with it.
The concept of the personification of death is one that I like, and think worked incredibly well in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld so was quite excited at the start to see Zusak introduce Death as narrator. But quite quickly the colloquial style of narration jarred with me, and personally, I found it too light-hearted for the subject matter. I also felt that Zusak lost his way with this style, struggling to maintain it, moving in and out of Death’s informal, conversational narration into the more traditional story telling throughout the novel.
I also felt there were ideas that weren’t developed sufficiently, that either should have been left out...or taken more time over. An example of this is Death seeing colours associated with each passing of life, which is a brilliant concept, that was well introduced but given no more than a passing reference as the book progressed.
I feel that without these aspects distracting me, and detracting from the wonderful characterisation and plot, this book would have given a far greater impact, and could have been a 4 or even 5.

Death is the narrator of the story, a clever device enabling an emotionally impartial and non-judgemental narration that cuts to the heart.
It is interesting that the narrator prepares the reader for what is to come on several occasions. Yet this preparation in no way diminishes the horror. In some ways it intensifies it... Or focuses the attention... Like preparing to visit the morgue to see a loved one... We need to be prepared to say goodbye properly... To be able to let go... To remember. The dead are honoured by our remembering.

In terms of writing style and narrative, I think this is one of the quirkiest books I’ve ever read. Death was the narrator and Leisel was the protagonist. Each chapter was only a few pages and the saddest story in history was often told with an air of amusement in the background.
Leisel’s story was both ordinary and profound, her childhood before coming to live with her adoptive parents was brutal but she was resilient and kept some innocence about her. I adored her papa, Hans, just as Leisel clearly did. Their bond and connection was beautiful to read. Her mama and papa took steps to support the Jews and this formed a significant part of the story.
Trust was accumulated quickly, due primarily to the brute strength of the man’s gentleness, his thereness.
This story transported me to the context of a Germany under Nazi rule. More importantly, it transports the reader to an average Joe perspective, village life and an example of good German people just trying to survive the hideousness of war and the regime they were under. Told over decades, this was both a light-hearted and heavy and emotionally-laden tale.
This isn’t a 5 star read for me because the writing style was strange, I won’t say that I ever got on with it, but I rubbed along with it because of the great story and characters. I am left feeling very affected by the reading experience and that I may be a bit too emotionally raw to discuss this at bookclub tomorrow. Oops!
