The Book Thief- End

*THIS IS BEING POSTED NOW BECAUSE I DIDN'T NOW IT NEVER POSTED*
*SPOILERS*

    I have just finished The Book Theif by Markus Zusak. In the end of the book, a lot of things happened. Max had to leave the basement because it was becoming too dangerous for him to be there. Later in the book, Liesel saw Max when a bunch of Jewish people were being marched through town and she chased him down which got her whipped by a solider. In the epilouge, Death also said that Max came to visit Liesel once the war was over and "...they hugged and cried and fell to the floor." The mayors wife came to visit Liesel and gave her a notebook because Liesel had sent her a note informing her that she could not steal her books anymore. Liesel then started going down to the basement every night to write and would often end up sleeping down there. At the end of the book, Molching (the town) was bombed while everyone was sleeping and unfortunately, since no one could get to shelter because they were asleep, everyone died. Except Liesel because she was in the basement. The last chapter when Liesel was walking through Himmel Street after the bombing was incredibly. She found the dead bodies of her mother and father and she found Rudy and kissed him finally (during the book Rudy would always ask Liesel for a kiss). In the epilouge, it also explained that Liesel moved into the mayors house.
    I really loved this book. The last chapters made me cry and the entire book made me smile. I highly recommend this book!!!!

  1. Great summary Clara! This book seems really interesting and appears to have a bitter sweet ending. I hope Liesel will live the rest of her life happy although her family was killed.
