Its grimness and tragedy run through the reader's mind like a black-and-white movie, bereft of the colors of life. Zusak may not have lived under Nazi domination, but <i>The Book Thief</i> deserves a place on the same shelf with <i>The Diary of a Young Girl</i> by Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel's <i>Night.</i> It seems poised to become a classic."</p>. HTML:-<i>USA Today</i>. HTML:"Zusak doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in <i>Slaughterhouse-Five</i>: with grim, darkly consoling humor.". HTML:<i>Time Magazine</i>. "Elegant, philosophical and moving...Beautiful and important.". HTML:<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, Starred. "An extraordinary narrative.". HTML:<i>School Library Journal</i>, Starred. "Exquisitely written and memorably populated, Zusak's poignant tribute to words, survival, and their curiously inevitable entwinement is a tourde force to be not just read but inhabited.". HTML:<i>The Horn Book Magazine</i>, Starred. "One of the most highly anticipated young-adult books in years.". HTML:<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>. HTML:<p><br /> By the author of the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Book Thief</i>, this is a cryptic journey filled with laughter, fists, and love.<br /> <br /> Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future.
