November Book Club Meeting

Host: Carol


Book: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


The Response of the Book Club Members: Everyone was totally awed by this novel of the holocaust told thru the eyes of the main character who was Death. That's right. Death. Everyone started out hating Death but in the end everyone had great sympathy for him because he showed such compassion. Everyone thought it was one of the very best books we have read this year! And to think that in the bookstores they have classified this as a young adult book. Most of the book club members thought that that was a bad idea because it is a mature theme that would be way above the emotional maturity of 11 or 12 year olds.
