I really felt this book and my thoughts and opinions just poured out. Haven't felt that way about a book in awhile. So glad I picked it up.

The book was so good, I can't imagine the movie is as well done.

But I must say your review has grabbed me and I'm going to have to read this sucker!

It spoils the book otherwise, and you can't picture things with your own imagination. I am really intrigued by this book, and I'm adding it to my reading list! Thank you.

I'm also kind of fascinated with all things 'Holocaust' and can watch those documentaries for hours, horrified at the things that went on right under people's noses. Can you imagine the fear that those victims lived with? <br />I loved the POV, and like Mikki, feel that this is the one book I wish I had written. Your review is awesome, Courtney.

Up until I read The Book Thief a year ago, I always said no. But from the day I began that book, until I finished it about 3 days later, I have wished I had written it. The depth of character, of understanding, the emotions that lie hidden and then suddenly spring to the surface, all this and much more, make this one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. I have mixed feelings about the movie: if it doesn't follow the book line for line and page for page I'm going to be angry and upset. How dare they take a book of this caliber and cheapen it by not telling the story EXACTLY as on each page? So...since often the movie doesn't follow the book closely, I'm torn, and afraid to go see it. Tell you what...you go see it, and then tell me if it follows the book!
