The Book Thief: A Review
Title: The Book Thief Author: Markus Zusak Genre: Young Adult Fiction Quotation: “I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” Would recommend to: anyone.

Waiting in line at the grocery store? Going to the bathroom? Hiding out from a party that wasn’t as great as you thought it would be? Your book will always be there…
