The Book Thief Update

I have just started reading a book called 'The Book Thief.'

This novel is narrated by 'Death' and is about his adventures and run-ins with a young girl called Leisel. Set in 1939, German (World War Two), the first few pages of the book is Death talking about the three times he observed her. The first time was when her brother died on a train, and Leisel and her Mother had to bury him. This was the first time that the Book Thief came to life. She found a book that was on the ground and decided to take it on the trip with her to her new foster family in Munich, Germany.

The second time he meets her is when she sees that a plane is crashed, and Leisel and her brother give the dead Pilot a smiling teddy bear. Death seems to be even more intrigued by her.

The third and last time that Death meets Leisel is inevitably when she dies. She is playing on the street when a bomb is dropped and she dies. She is still only very young. Death seems to be more upset than any of the other people whom he has to take their souls.

Now that he has very briefly explained the three times that he meets Leisel, he is now going back and explaining in great detail the three events that have happened.

I'm at page 26 and I hope to get to at least 60 by the end of the weekend.
