Great Perspective submitted by scurtis1 on July 3, 2012, 11:26am If you are interested in the Holocaust this is a great book. In my opinion the best thing about the book is perspective. It is written from a different point of view than the other books on the same subject. I liked this perspective because I felt like I got the idea of what was happening without feeling as sad about human nature. This book is very well written and really kept me intrigued even though I thought I knew how it would end. The characters are very developed. Overall the book is exciting and fun even with the sad subject matter.

The Book Thief submitted by SBNB on July 11, 2014, 1:34pm It's a good book, well-written, and worth reading/listening to.

Good Book submitted by chioma on June 19, 2015, 11:01am This is just the Book Thief on Tape, but even as it is on tape is makes it that much better. You should listen to this tape, the book thief is a great book one of my favorites

haunting submitted by camelsamba on July 14, 2017, 10:24pm Haunting. I wish I'd been reading a print edition though, because there were parts that seemed worthy of lingering over.

Beautifully Devastating submitted by steveiew on June 28, 2018, 2:14pm This book is written beautifully and hearing it read makes it feel all the more real. The story is filled with sadness, as any story of the Holocaust is, and triumph. Be prepared for a good cry.

Great submitted by c_zhang on June 27, 2019, 10:43pm A powerful book, and it was easier to get through an audiobook than actually reading.
