There are books(most of them) which after having read, find their places back to the shelf, to be lost in the midst of the growing dust, chucked into oblivion, perhaps for ages. And then there are the books that find a place in the readers’ heart owing to their inimitable quality. Books which urge the reader to heave them out of the shelf now and then, to remove any gathered dust. The Book Thief as you can guess has found its place, in the latter category. This book is truly a celebration of words, and I value Zusak’s talent to play with words as fluently as the story they have created. Instead of writing a review, I thought it’d be better to show you a preview. So here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Mr. Steiner was steering the bike with one hand and Rudy with the other. He was having trouble steering the conversation.â€
“The words were not spoken, but they were definitely there, somewhere between Rudy’s blue eyes and Deutscher’s advisory handsâ€
“Rudy’s voice reached over and handed Liesel the truth. For a while, it sat on her shoulder, but a few thoughts later, it made its way to her ear.â€
“Three languages interwove. The Russian, the bullets, the German.â€
“He was the second snowman to be melting away before her eyes, only this one was different. It was a paradox. The colder he became, the more he melted.â€
