The Book Thief

I want to type a review about how much this book broke my heart, how much I loved it, but I don't know how to find the right words.

I've known about this book for years, but never pictured myself reading it. Historical Fiction is a genre I tend to shy away from, but lately I've heard a little more about this book and I gave up resisting it. I bought it about a month ago, and I picked it up as soon as I had the chance. Going into it, I knew almost nothing about this book, just that the main character was a young girl living in Nazi Germany. And going in to it knowing nothing was part of the reason I enjoyed it much, much more than I thought I would.

This book is truly a masterpiece. And I don't know how else to put it. I don't know what words can be written to express my true feelings, to convince you to pick it up if you haven't already.
