"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
