That's true, all the characters are good.<br />It is! How amazing that a book can have such an impact.<br />You're right - I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it too!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-18024395996874228492015-03-01T08:39:32.275+11:002015-03-01T08:39:32.275+11:00I'm so happy you liked this book! I can unders...I'm so happy you liked this book! I can understand your feelings on the whole war thing (although I'm more or less the opposite, I think that authors should be applauded for reminding us of the harsher sides of life but anyway that's an argument for another day!) and I'm glad it didn't get in your way of enjoying this book too much.<br /><br />I also loved the character of Rosa. All of the characters in The Book Thief are great but she was one of the ones that always stood out to me.<br /><br />And then, as you said, there was the ending. I've read this book twice and I came pretty close to tears both times. The climax is so beautiful and damning and terrifying and hurtful and uplifting and even thinking about it now makes me feel emotional.<br /><br />There will never be another book quite like this in my mind and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Killian<br />http://leaf-on-the-breeze.blogspot.ie/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-46183088650580809352015-02-26T19:01:07.222+11:002015-02-26T19:01:07.222+11:00Thanks Noelia :)
It was good how the main focus wa...Thanks Noelia :)<br />It was good how the main focus wasn't the war.<br />Yes, Hans is great at standing up for his beliefs. *Sobs* The deaths were so awful, but as you said, not gruesome! It was...as good as it could be.<br />I have now watched the movie! I thought it was pretty good for an adaptation, but I was sad because a lot of my favourite bits were left out. And I agree, the acting was stellar!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-15430547323757892562015-02-26T00:23:41.965+11:002015-02-26T00:23:41.965+11:00What a delightful review Sabrina! I understand wha...What a delightful review Sabrina! I understand what you are saying about not liking historical fiction books about wars because, yes, those things happened and humanity is horrible sometimes but one of the things Zusak does and which I really appreciated was that even though is set on World War II is not entirely focused on the war. True, we need historical background but the main point was Liesel story and the many people around her ^^ <br />I agree about Rosa; everybody speaks about Hans because he's one of the loveliest grown up characters I've ever read about. He's not afraid to do what he thinks is right and yes, Rosa is the same way though she doesn't show it so easily. Both loved Liesel so much and I was completely devastated when they died. As well as Rudy; my poor little kid </33333 But funny enough, their deaths were not gruesome, which is again another thing I loved about the novel; how death is portrayed. I connected with her/him instantly and that's weird to be honest because who isn't afraid of Death? And don't get me started on Max... I would never stop typing hahaha <br />So, yeah, Zusak crafted a beautiful novel; and I cannot wait to know what you think of the movie. They changed some parts but I thought it was a very nice adaptation. And the actors? THEY WERE SO GOOD :)Noelia Alonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995117581573105992noreply@blogger.com
