Hour 9






















The Book Thief Review


Have you ever seen a movie so heart-grabbing it steals you away? Very rarely a book comes out that steals my breath away. The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak is an amazing. Story narrated by Death, this story follows Liesel as she steals books in Nazi Germany while she and her best friend Rudy discover the true meaning of a friendship. The book is outstanding; it's sarcastic, emotional, and intelligent because of the way it’s written. You need to watch The Book Thief. This book grabs the audience attention immediately with its almost perfect representation of the era of the Nazi’s.
The Book Thief movie, directed by Brian Percival, is the story of a girl named Liesel, sent to live with foster parents in a small German town: Hans and Rosa Hubberman. Unhappy and barely adjusting to her new home, she starts to take books as an escape from life. It’s the late 1930s, and Nazis are making being destructive.
The movie’s isn’t such a bad movie: Liesel’s beloved “Papa”; Watson’s Rosa is not-charming, but lets us see this woman quietly falling in love with the child she cares for. A little message from the movie is; you can escape from reality with books. The movie and the book were different when it comes to suspension. The movie could’ve displayed more suspense like the book did. But when it comes to which one I preferred more it would come down to be a draw. Out of 10 stars I give The Book Thief 9.5 stars. I want to congratulate Mr. Percival on his job well done.
