My little ballerina kicking up her back leg. Yes, I've already started rereading "The Book Thief". I'll be away from home in July But will try to get my comments prepared early and find a away of posting them at the right time. It's a sad but still a heartwarming tale, told from an unusual angle. I am enjoying reading it slowly a second time - there are lots of details I'd completely forgotten about.

Even if you dont reread it you can still write a review later this month.

Anyone started or even finished the book. I'm waiting a little longer so it's fresh in mind for the discussion.

Me, three. I've got 14 days left on my loan, so I'll start it once I finish the book I'm currently reading.

I started reading The Book Thief yesterday. It's quite a bit longer than I was expecting, at 449 pages on my e-reader. I'm finding it a fairly fast read, though. However, the writing style is a bit unusual, particularly at the beginning. Not hard to read, just different.
