Extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry. -- Lisa
Hilton * Sunday Telegraph *
...a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling...Unsettling,
thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a
novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important
piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner. * Guardian *
A moving work which will make many eyes brim. -- Marianne Brace *
Independent on Sunday *
This is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim. A sense of
dread prevades this beautifully written novel. As The Book Thief
draws to a close, Death says: "There's a multitude of stories that
i allow to distract me as I work." The story of the Book Thief, who
tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one
formidable and inspiring distraction. -- Lianne Kolirin * The Daily
Express *
Brilliant and hugely ambitious ... the kind of book that could be
life-changing * New York Times Book Review *
...breathtakingly good. -- Becky Stradwick, Buyer, Borders * The
Bookseller *
A magical tale. * Elle *
...a fantastic book...it packs a huge emotional punch. -- Angela
Lockton, The Golden Treasury, London * The Bookseller *
A tonic much needed amid the ominous menace of an era of such
calamity. -- Alexandra Hamlyn * FT magazine *
Quirky, engaging and beautifully written * Woman and Home *
His faith in the transformative power of storytelling bestows this
gentle but worthwhile novel with its own narrative strength and
power. -- Claire Allfree * Metro *
Absorbing and searing * Washington Post *
A major achievement * People *
Deserves a place on the shelf with The Diary of Anne Frank -
set to become a classic * USA Today *
Zusak makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable in the same way
Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse 5, with grim, darkly
consoling humour * Time *
Zusak's playfulness with language leavens the horror and makes the
theme more resonant - words can save your life ...It's a measure of
how sucessfully Zusak has humanized these characters that even
though we know they are doomed, it's no less devastating when Death
finally reaches them * Publishers Weekly *
One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years * The
Wall Street Journal *
'Elegant, philosophical and moving. A work to read slowly and
savour. Beautiful and important * Kirkus Reviews *
Both gripping and touching, a work that kept me up late into the
night feverishly reading the last 300 pages * Cleveland
Plain-Dealer *
Zusak's novel is a highwire act of inventiveness and emotional
suppleness * The Australian *
