Concluding Response: The Book Thief

I have just finished the final page of 'The Book Theif' and am genuinely sobbing into my duvet... The ending is so cruel it rips at your heart strings!

The plot is a mesh of tightly woven threads that create one grey cloth of human suffering, joy and friendship.

I might mention that this book is over 500 pages long, and over the duration of the story, you really do bond with the characters. It's incredible how attached you can become to a fictional family!

I would urge you to read this magnificent book if you haven't already (and if you have, REREAD IT!!).

There's not much more I can say because I fear I'm slightly emotionally unstable at the moment.. But anyways,

Happy reading, Kate x
