Markus Zusac's "The Book Thief" is ultimately about the triumph of hope in the face of unspeakable cruelty. Written for young adults, it is a work adults may appreciate more. It is long...over 500 pages..but absorbing, once you get caught up in Liesel Meminger's story of survival in Hitler's Germany. This is not Ann Frank revisited-though there is a Jewish boxer hiding in the basement.

What a verification of my belief in the value of the written word. Imagine never having a book of any kind. What a sad state. This is a great thought provoker.
