My mum was the same, so I disowned her. ;)<br /><br />Anyway, this book completely destroyed me and still does every time I read it. I'll never read anything better.prophecygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943009333696533856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086134026437451311.post-86229356005563897562013-10-26T05:17:23.016+01:002013-10-26T05:17:23.016+01:00I definitely agree with your book-before-film rule...I definitely agree with your book-before-film rule. I did love <i>The Book Thief</i> but there are other books that I disappointingly didn't love that seemingly everyone else in the world did (<i>The Scorpio Races,</i> most recently) so I completely understand the feeling. Perhaps this book was just too hyped up for you, or maybe you wouldn't have loved it regardless. I was really nervous when I heard they were adapting this novel for the big screen, but after seeing the trailer I'm cautiously optimistic. Maybe you'll like the film better. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for your post. I wrote a post on The Book Thief on my blog recently, feel free to check it out, should you feel so inclined: www.bookmarkdragon.com. I'm new the book blogosphere, and am really excited to stop being a lurker and be a more active participant in these conversations about books. Wow, this comment got long. Anyway, thanks again for the post.Bookmark Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268509613086029168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086134026437451311.post-64925161586966865802013-10-22T18:46:11.185+01:002013-10-22T18:46:11.185+01:00I read this book in 2011 and gave it 7 or 8 out of...I read this book in 2011 and gave it 7 or 8 out of 10, because it was well written, but it didn't punch me in the gut like some other books have. Even Stephen King's "Cujo" was a harder punch in the gut than "The Book Thief." Nevertheless, I saw this as a Holocaust themed novel that was meant to spark a reaction.Josh Caporalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388877987189461463noreply@blogger.com
