From School Library Journal Starred Review. Grade 9 UpZusak has created a work that deserves the attention of sophisticated teen and adult readers. Death himself narrates the World War II-era story of Liesel Meminger from the time she is taken, at age nine, to live in Molching, Germany, with a foster family in a working-class neighborhood of tough kids, acid-tongued mothers, and loving fathers who earn their living by the work of their hands. The child arrives having just stolen her first bookalthough she has not yet learned how to readand her foster father uses it, The Gravediggers Handbook, to lull her to sleep when shes roused by regular nightmares about her younger brothers death. Across the ensuing years of the late 1930s and into the 1940s, Liesel collects more stolen books as well as a peculiar set of friends: the boy Rudy, the Jewish refugee Max, the mayors reclusive wife (who has a whole library from which she allows Liesel to steal), and especially her foster parents. Zusak not only creates a mesmerizing and original story but also writes with poetic syntax, causing readers to deliberate over phrases and lines, even as the action impels them forward. Death is not a sentimental storyteller, but he does attend to an array of satisfying details, giving Liesels story all the nuances of chance, folly, and fulfilled expectation that it deserves.

Read more From Bookmarks Magazine Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger,took a risk with his second book by making Death an omniscient narratorand it largely paid off. Originally published in Australia and marketed for ages 12 and up, will appeal both to sophisticated teens and adults with its engaging characters and heartbreaking story. The Philadelphia Inquirer compared the book's power to that of a graphic novel, with its 'bold blocks of action.' If Zusak's postmodern insertions (Death's commentary, for example) didn't please everyone, the only serious criticism came from Janet Maslin, who faulted the book's 'Vonnegut whimsy' and Lemony Snicket-like manipulation. Yet even she admitted that 'will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures.' And, as we all know, 'there's no arguing with a sentiment like that.'Copyright 2004 Phillips & Nelson Media, Inc. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
