The book thief

[tamara_russo]

I really had to hold myself from sobbing out loud when I finished this book, I'll tell you that.

It's one of the most touching stories I've read lately, about a girl during World War II with her adopting parents and her life there as a book thief, and how words were her saviors and how they were terrible for her.

I just loved it, that's all.

I read the introduction and started weeping!

But that's me.

Do you have it? I'd really like to read it properly (since the copy I read wasn't available for lending).

It's a crying book all right... I only withheld from crying because I'm at work (not for long).

I do have it and I'll bring it for you on Thursday, just remind me beforehand.
