Özet

'It's just a small story, really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, a Jewish fist fighter, and quite a lot of thievery ...'

Narrated in the all-knowing matter-of-fact voice of Death, witnessing the story of the citizens of Himmel Street:

When nine-year-old Liesel arrives outside the boxlike house of her new foster parents, she refuses to get out of the car. Liesel has been separated from her parents - 'Kommunists' - for ever, and at the burial of her little brother, she steals a gravedigger's instruction manual which she can't read. It is the beginning of her illustrious career.

In the care of the Hubermans, Liesel befriends blond-haired Rudy Steiner, her neighbour obsessed with Jesse Owens. She also befriends the mayor's wife, who hides from despair in her library. Together Liesel and Rudy steal books - from Nazi book burning piles, from the mayor's library, from the richer people of Molching. In time, the family hide a Jewish boxer, Max, who reads with Liesel in the basement.
.
By 1943, the Allied bombs are falling, and the sirens begin to wail. Liesel shares out her books in the air-raid shelters. But one day in the life of Himmel street, the wail of the sirens comes too late ...

A life-changing tale of the cruel twists of fate and the coincidences on which all our lives hinge, this is also a joyous look at the power of book to nourish the soul. Its uplifting ending will make all readers weep.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry. (Lisa Hilton)
...a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling...Unsettling, thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner.
A moving work which will make many eyes brim. (Marianne Brace)
This is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim. A sense of dread prevades this beautifully written novel. As The Book Thief draws to a close, Death says: "There's a multitude of stories that i allow to distract me as I work." The story of the Book Thief, who tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one formidable and inspiring distraction. (Lianne Kolirin)
...breathtakingly good. (Becky Stradwick, Buyer, Borders)
A magical tale.
...a fantastic book...it packs a huge emotional punch. (Angela Lockton, The Golden Treasury, London)
A tonic much needed amid the ominous menace of an era of such calamity. (Alexandra Hamlyn)
Quirky, engaging and beautifully written
His faith in the transformative power of storytelling bestows this gentle but worthwhile novel with its own narrative strength and power. (Claire Allfree)

It took me several attempts to get into this book, but it was definately worth it. I thought this was a great listen, really well paced and read by the narrator and an enchanting tale. I liked and engaged with so many of the characters in this book. I finished the story this morning on the tube - Yes I was that woman on the Metropolitan line who was sobbing - and no I wasnt having a life trauma - just finishing a remarkable and very emotional novel. This certainly comes under my 'download without delay' selection.

A great listen

A great book and the narrator was fantastic. I had actually partially read the book, so the only thing missing is the book's drawings which are just the cherry on the cake for this book.

Couldn't listen to it in public - it occassionally brought a tear to my eye!

Brilliant!

I bought the book for my 12 year old daughter. Having been attracted by the title I read the first page to see if it grabbed me and boy didn't just. The book manages to be funny, grueling, moving and inspiring, often simultaneously. The unusual narrative perspective is only slightly reminiscent of Terry Pratchet but the author avoids the obvious jokes. Instead it allows the author to play with time lines and perspective in a refreshing way. Best book I've read in years, if it doesn't become a classic then there is no justice. Having read it I was delighted to find as an audiobook, I think the narrator here nails it. Can't recommend it enough though some parents may want to read it themselves as, on reflection, I'm not quite sure why I found it in the children's section of the book shop.

this is a truly excellent book. after listening I was told it was teenage fiction, well then more teenage fiction please. World war 2 from a Germany point of view with wit sensitivity and love. Now I have read it I want to see the film
Allan must be one of the best narrators with great characterisation and wit. He finds a perfect balance

If i could give six stars for performance i would

Had no idea what this was about, just that it had great reviews. I wasn’t disappointed and surprised how hooked I was from the start. Narration is so good I would listen to a book just be he was the narrator.

Just wow!
