A few weeks ago, I was sent a copy of Markus Zusak's The Book Thief for consideration for the book club. I spoke with the students about it, and we've agreed that it will be the featured book for the month of January, with the goal of having it read by January 16, so we can attend the Boulder Bookstore's Teen Book club meeting on January 16. I decided to cheat a little and read it over the holiday break; I finished it today.
The Book Thief is one of the best fiction books I've read in a while... it's absolutely worth the praise it's been given. I don't want to say a lot more about it yet because I don't want to ruin it for the students and staff who might read the book with us, but I will definitely post my comments up soon. For now, I'll just say that if you haven't read this book yet, I heartily recommend it... it's nothing short of amazing.
