It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

死神形象塑造的太烂简直傻逼可笑,自以为很有幽默感但其实就是个逗比;口口声声说着自己有一颗温柔的心也只是tell not show……不过熬过了前几章那用狗的逻辑去做黄瓜三明治一样混乱的文艺意识流之后故事发展和描述就逐渐开始上道了,几个主要人物甚至路人甲都挺戳泪点的……总之算是对得起它的好口碑吧!

這世界沒有童話般的happily ever after。好日子壞日子,剩下的就只有愛和回憶。

看这本书的一半时间是在等翻页,累。但和中文版一样,到最后还是看得我稀里哗啦~
