The Book Thief
By Markus Zusak
576 pages;
Alfred A. Knopf
This teen—and adult—classic about a German girl
who steals books in a Nazi-run town is told by Death itself. Yes, an actor can
sound like Death, and even look like it, but never as creepily or as insightful
as the voice and face that your own imagination will come up with while reading
the novel.
— Leigh Newman
