\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

HERE IS A SMALL FACT,<\/p>\n

You are going to die.<\/p>\n

I read a lot and I read anything, I’m not a snob when it comes to authors or genre. I’ll read anything recommended to me or anything I find whilst trawling book shops and charity shops. I dont usually blog about books, never have before but I think this deserves a mention.<\/p>\n

“Liesel” a young girl is adopted by a German family during the second world war. There is Jew hidden in the basement, persecution in the streets and there is a coming of age as Liesel grows up in Nazi Germany with all the madness this entails. Liesel makes friends and forms relationships with the unlikeliest of characters and all the while with death breathing over her shoulder. This is her story;<\/p>\n

I love this book. It’s not an happy book.\u00c2\u00a0 I dont think any book narrated by death could be, But there are some momenst that make you smile, some that make you laugh and some that in my case bought me to tears.It is so well written the characters stay with you long after the final page has been turned.<\/p>\n

I recommend it to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
