The Book Thief
the tone
The Book Thief was definitely better than I thought it would be, I thought it would be one of those sappy story's about a Jew's struggle through the Holocaust, not that those are bad, just I've read a lot of books like it. It turned out to be a really good book, I couldn't put it down, and decided to just finish it, it is probably one of the most sad books I've ever read, SPOILER!!!! everyone except Max dies, she (Leisel) is left with almost nothing, and has to start new for the second time in her life.
I think the tone of this book is definitely emptiness, though my whole group hasn't finished the book i personally think that all throughout the book Leisel is striped of all the thing that she holds dear to her heart. I also noticed that the author foreshadowed when all Leisel's real family dies, representing what will happen to her new family and friends.
