Well, I've read both and can say without a doubt, that The Book Thief is the best YA book I've ever read (which isn't many  ). It also happens to be the best book I've read. Powerful stuff.
I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone. |
That's me, not Reaper. Reaper is way too high brow and snooty for that sort of stuff.
But yes, the Book Thief is amazing. Just a really great book that transcends the whole YA label.
Did you like Charlie from Perks? It's a great book to pair up with Catcher in the Rye. Charlie is like a modern day Holden.
