BOOK THIEF, THE

Any commentary on The Book Thief? I read it last summer; we'll see what I can remember.

I didn't love it--really, I thought it was too long and tended to ramble. It was depressing and dark and cold. All that remains with me visually are a few flashes of the basement and the drawings the artist did.

I remember it was a difficult read, as in I had to force myself to finish it.

. . . that's all I can dredge up! Other thoughts? I know we are all pretty busy right now.
