In this novel we find the love for reading (and also for writing) that the author feels and that he transmits to us through his protagonist, that girl who collects all the books he finds and turns them into his most precious possessions. The reading of these books will have a positive power on her and on other inhabitants of the small population... Throughout the book you will see how. I will only say that when I got to this part of the story I started to reflect on the impact that words can have on people, and that in times of crisis or war, books will always be there for you, to accompain you through those hard times as happened in The Book Thief.

Something I definitely didn't like about the book (but that doesn't change my opinion about it) is the technique used by Markus: the flash-forward resource, which, unlike flash-back (which shows us events that took place in the past), shows us a future that hasn't happened yet. You guys, I felt that they were constantly spoiling me, hahaha so I think that detail took some spark away from the story. However, I must point out that these "mini-spoilers" made with the flash-forward were not total spoilers. They tell you what will happen but not how it will happen, which in a way is a bonus, because as you know what happened, you want to read more and more to find out how it happened... So probably this technique isn't so bad, hehehe.

Although they become weird at first, the reader quickly gets used to these spoilers and understands that they are part of the way this story is told.
Dear booklovers, in general terms this is a unique book, one of those that you fall in love with. Raw, strong, terrible, but written in a very beautiful and poetic way. This book will make you shed some tears, because the Book Thief will undoubtedly steal your hearts.
This is, without a doubt, one of the best books I've ever read, and it goes straight to my favorites' list.
