Summer Homework (P4)

I originally picked his book because I heard from friends and family that it was a good book and a good movie. Now that I finished the book, I'm regretting that I never saw the movie. I also picked this book because I thought to myself, 'If anyone were to steal anything, why would it be a book?' And with that question created the curiosity of the book that drove me to reading it. Now after reading the beginning of the novel, what drove me to continue to read further was the uniqueness of it. Usually a book from Germany in the 1940's is about a Jew, or Hitler's power, etc. However, this book is about the struggles of a German girl living a true nightmare. Of course, to every dream there are good parts, which there were, but for this night Liesel was hit with struggle after struggle. Her fight to survive is truly remarkable under the conditions she was in and circumstances that happened to her. Of her whole life and demeanor not many things could be related to me personally. And by that I mean the passion of reading. My own isn't as great as hers, but I do have one myself. Not many things can be related over, such as close friend and family death, being abandoned, thievery, and more (if you want to know more you should probably read the book). If you think you would want to read it, that might mean that you like biographies, to butt in on other people's lives and secrets, and to pave the road for destruction. But hey, that's up to you. Have fun reading.
