The Book Thief

We had our book discussion on Sunday. I was very happy with the book and enjoyed it. I don't know as I would make it a point to search other books by this author though. I think he writes mainly for a young adult audience. The book dealt with a young girl living with a foster family in Germany during WWII. I found it pretty interesting in that I knew people who lived in Germany in that time period and also a couple of men who fought with the German army and were POWs in Canada. I enjoyed reading a book that used common German people as characters.

I just reread that paragraph and frankly, it sounds like the book reports I used to do in 2nd grade! LOL "I really liked this book because it was interesting and fun......." Anyways, our next book is Time Line by Michael Crichton. This is our science fiction selection. I have already started to read it. I read it many years ago and loved it. I adore time travel books :-)
