You know that book that changes your opinion of everything? The one that's most likely long, and satisfying, yet you still hate to reach that last page? The book you don't mind staying up until two in the morning reading, despite the fact that you should be doing your calculus homework? The book where you lose track of time because you just can't look away from the words? The one that takes you through an emotional roller coaster and makes you cry? It's really hard to name that many books that do that for me. Right now I can think of Anne of Green Gables, which no matter how many times I reread I always cry, always smile, and always laugh. Another would be My Sister's Keeper, where I broke down and cried for five minutes at the ending and hated the author for what she'd done, even though it made the book so much more poignant. Well, The Book Thief can join that list. If this book doesn't change your life, then you probably have no heart. Not to sound cruel, but it's true. It's the kind of book you're never going to forget.
