Recensione:

"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)
