I finished reading The Book Thief last night. I don't think I've ever cried that much over a story before. But everything in the book could have happened, it was based on true events; the Holocaust and Hitler were real no matter how hard we wish that events so terrible didn't happen. Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief, created a story that will warm people's hearts because of the life of Liesel, the main character, while also writing an accurate take on history. Although the ending is bitter sweet, the book combines the perfect amount of tragedy with hope and love. My favorite part from the ending of the story is the epilogue. Zusak was able to sum up the story while also leaving room for interpretation of what specifically happens to the characters. Usually, this would bother me. I want to know what exactly happens to everyone but, in The Book Thief enough is said to lead you to interpret positively.
Furthermore, there are ten parts in The Book Thief and last week I was only finishing reading part five. As a result, I cannot wait to work on the review later today. I think it is going to be a little more difficult to write compared to the review on The Elite. The Book Thief had such a complex story line that I want to include the right information but still leave out enough so people will go out and read the book. In addition, I will be talking to my mentor about The Book Thief review and what book I should read next. After reading a book so great, I hope the next one does not disappoint me. Also, on regards of how I will be publishing my book reviews I will be talking about this with my mentor and if necessary, create a survey (for people from my school and family) to see what appeals to the majority of people; a blogger account or a website. I want to make my reviews as accessible to my audience as possible and doing what pleases them is the first step.
Lastly, I want to thank Evernote for sending my entire English class and myself Evernote notebooks to keep our notes in. These notebooks have super cool features that allow you to categorize your pictures with stickers that will automatically put the notes into the correct folder on Evernote. It was extremely nice of the company to give us notebooks and I recommend buying them if you are using Evernote.
