I just didn't like it :(
Maybe I'm not in the right stage of my life to read a book like this, maybe I'm not at the right age, maybe I just won't ever like it. But I'm not going to lie I'm pretty devastated that I didn't like this book. Markus Zusak is my favorite author, the book theif was my favorite book and maybe I had my hopes set way way too high when I started this book. From the second I started it I knew I wasn't going to love it, I just couldn't get into the story. I didn't have any relationship with the characters which is not like me. I didn't like the writing style which really surprised me. I don't know what happened but I just didn't like it. I don't regret buying it though, it's just part of my journey as a reader. I hope the rest of you love this book. I really do. Maybe I'll try again one day when I'm in a different place in my life.
