I am haunted by humans - The Book Thief

Be it the amazing book or the decent-ish movie adaption, which I've literally just finished watching for the third time (seriously the creed it's are still rolling, as is my big baby tears) damn you book thief, no matter how many times I read the book or watch the movie, no matter how many times I say, 'c'mon now Claire you know the words you know the ending, you will not cry this time' it doesn't matter. Damn it!
This must be the titanic or the notebook to other people, I don't and have never cried at a movie, until this stupid movie. Granted I'd tear up at 'an American tail' but honestly if you don't tear up at little phone vial crying hitting gay and thinking he'll never find his family,then you sit are actually more heartless than me, and that's hard to do.

So needless to say I thouroughly enjoyed the book thief  ( even though I'm extremely awkward and tend to instantly hate everything that is well liked) however it was a complete coincidental find in a charity book shop AGES ago, I vaguely remember seeing the name mentioned on one of those morning talk shows while I was debating how important it was for me to attend class. It was a battered old 20p book and I have to say although I can never say I love a book as a ten out of ten (because I'm ruined harsh and indesisive like that) this book was a massive surprise that did (unfortunately) make me blubber like a baby (predictable ending or not) so honestly, this is a CERY very very close contender as my favourite book of all time and to be honest it's An extremely short list, and very close call.

I don't care if you're 8 or 80, this book should be read. And let's ace it, how many books these days can you say that about.
It's interesting, different and above all powerful.

If you want to read a slow book that you will literally tear through in less than a day, go for not, once you start you will not stop, put school, the kids even the job on hold, read this book! And love it like me and apparently a lot of other people did.

I think what's so enjoyable is, you don't expect it to be enjoyable. Now if you can find a beat up old copy in a candiru shop that cost less than a packet of space invaders, im you will enjoy it even more, if jot, sure go buy a shiny new copy that you can proudly show as your favourite book, however I guarantee the amount of times you read it, it will end up looking like me beloved copy.

Go forth and read ! It's worth it for definite
