After reading The Book Thief, I do believe the book is a good book, not a great book, but not a bad one either. I did enjoy the book, it was very interesting to see how history played its course through the plot, being the main centerpiece for the plot. The plot was enjoyable, and probably one of the better features of the book. Moving on to the main part of the blog.I chose The Book Thief as the my book for this year's Summer Reading Assignment for many reasons, among them, were my love for history, in that history books, I also was recommended to read the book by many of my friends and teachers.
For what drew me into reading the book, my love for history really pushed me to read it, as well as me wanting to learning more about what it was like living in Germany during Nazi Rule. So my love for history was a huge motive,
I could only find one personal connection to the book,and it was that me and Rudy both love running, as Rudy's role model was Jesse Owens, and he would pretend he was Jesse Owens and run on his local track. I sometimes, yet not really pretend like I am one of the track greats, like Steve Prefontaine, or Louis Zamperini in the distance events.
As far as recommendations to who should read the book, I'd recommend anyone who likes reading historical fiction novels, as well as anyone who wants to read something extraordinary, because books like The Book Thief don't come around often, you do have the political books, but almost all of those are biased, making The Book Thief, at least for me, a must read for historical fiction.
