The Book Thief was a very compellingly told historical fictional tale of one girl's experience during World War II in Germany

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2014)

Just watched this on Netflix disc with my mom. We both were touched by the tale of a young girl in Germany named Liesel (Sophie Nelisse) who's sent to live with foster parents (Emily Watson, Geoffrey Rush) at the outbreak of Nazism and World War II. She is befriended by schoolmate Rudy (Nico Liersch) and a border hiding in her foster parents' basement named Max (Ben Schnetzer). Quite a dramatically compelling fictional tale concerning real-life happenings during the timeline of the narrative depicted here. So beautifully sad and yet also inspirational concerning the girl's survival instinct of constantly reading, telling tales, and dealing with the tragedies of her life. So on that note, I highly recommend The Book Thief.
