Entry Four: The Book Thief

Out of all of the choices on the list I chose The Book Thief because it sounded the most interesting and the most familiar. Also my aunt who is a teacher has read it too and she said that I would like the book. Mainly what drew my attention to this book is that the setting is set in Nazi Germany and I have always been interested in books or movies that were during this time period.  Also the title of the book caught my attention because it sounded like there would be conflict with the characters taking books. One connection I have with this novel after reading it is that Liesel and I both have strong morals and we will defend our morals if we have to. Someone that I would specifically recommend this book to is my sister who is in college because she likes to read books no matter what genre or what it's about. Like me, she likes books that are set in other countries.  Also she likes books that are long and are difficult, as well as books that challenge her thinking. I would also recommend this book to students who are in high school because it would be too mature for people who are younger. It would draw in readers who like to think while they read because this isn't a book people can read and not think about, there is too much hurt and loss to ignore. I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope I can find books that are similar.
