The Book Thief takes place in Nazi Germany. It encompasses many stories and while at times it is confusing, there is never a dull moment. Zusak does a marvelous job of stitching together events and people with a unique point of view.
I wouldn't recommend it for young children, but to those who are mature enough to handle some death (it is Nazi Germany after all), harsh language (partly in German), and the unfairness of reality, I'd wholeheartedly tell you to pick up a copy and give it a go.
Book reviews are obviously not my forte.
