Having a black female main character that I can relate to was already an amazing thing to me. But the characters and concepts in itself is interesting and complex. The book kept me wanting to read more and the fact that it centers around a character within an unfamiliar environment made me relate even more. Bree, the main character, does seem to lack sympathy to others situations but it could either just be her age or her own trauma.

I thought the whole concept of the book would‘ve been interesting and how the author showed his progression and regression within the book was also interesting. However the part I didn‘t enjoy in the book was the characters itself, the people put in Charlie‘s life were all terrible role models for him. The whole experiment just felt unrealistic with how with only one successful rat they decided to try it on humans. The ending also felt rushed.

The Book Thief wasn‘t one of my favorite books I‘ve read. While the concept of Death being the narrator was interesting, I didn‘t enjoy the fact that he revealed major plot points within the book. I suppose it could‘ve been to make you more inclined to continue reading so you could find out why, but I personally didn‘t like that fact. I also wasn‘t the biggest fan of Liesel as I thought she boring.
