Summary: Liesel Meminger is The Book Thief a 9 year old girl growing up in 1930’s Nazi Germany. Publisher: Alfred Knopf / Random House, 2005 ![]() Kyle Quon and his guest review of The Book Thief!! Without further ado, ladies and gents, please give it up for Mr. Then, a couple of weeks back, Kyle told me he had finished the book and LOVED it.

I decided a great Christmas present would be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. And since then, he’s been on the lookout for reading recommendations, mostly of the young adult persuasion. Kyle is a burgeoning reader when I first met him, he’d just started to read the Twilight books by Stephenie Meyer (in fact, he now has my old copies of the books).
