TLDR/OPinion: 6/10
Hosseini's harrowing microcosmic tale of ​the wider degeneration of his native country, Afghanistan, tells the story of its oppression and corruption at the hands of other nations and terrorists groups from the unique perspective of 2 children. The book travels through history and across countries, a tale of betrayal, heartbreak, inequality and redemption.
Book Reviews and Analysis
Australia
The Book Thief By Marcus Zusak
Score: 8/10
FAVOURITE QUOTE: 'Her whole death was ahead of her'
REVIEW: Despite the only link to Australia being the author and that the protagonist eventually living in Sydney, it was impossible not to add this beautifully written novel to the list.
Death himself is the narrator.
