Markus Zusak 2006 Teen Book Video Award Winner -- THE BOOK THIEF

I recently found a fan-made video winner for The Book Thief. Give it a look?



I wasn't in The Book Thief group, but I've read it. It's one of my most favorite book ever, and I must have read the gorgeous thing five times. Even if historical fiction bores you, give this book a chance. Even people who hate reading ended up consuming this.

There are rumors it'll be made into a movie soon. Cross your fingers!

"The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is a novel of cruelty, poverty, and hope. Liesel Meminger is a young girl who has been placed in foster care by her mother. Liesel's brother dies en route to their new home and this leaves Liesel traumatized, causing her to have terrible nightmares in the middle of the night. Liesel's foster father begins teaching her to read on these nights to distract her from her pain. Liesel learns to turn to books for comfort. When the war begins, comfort becomes a rare state of mind, so Liesel finds ways to seek it out. Liesel begins to steal books in her efforts to deal with the cruelty of the world around her."--www.bookrags.com
