The Book Thief Blog 2

        As I have continued reading The Book Thief the book has continued to be eventful. Hans let a Jewish man named Max Vandenburg live in their basement. I thought it was nice of Hans to do this for him because if he were to keep staying at his friend Walter's house, he probably would've been found by the Nazi's. At first Liesel was shy towards Max, but she eventually warmed up to him and they became good friends. Liesel started to go down to the basement to talk to, read with, and see Max more. Max wrote a book for Liesel and she loved it. I think it was good for Max to move in with the Hubermann's because Max moving in gave Liesel someone to talk to that had been through similar experiences.
 
        Liesel continued to go to the mayor's library to read books, but when the mayor's wife fired Liesel's mother, Liesel became very mad at Ilsa (the mayor's wife). Even though Ilsa invited Liesel to continue reading books in the library, but Liesel didn't want to because she was too mad at Ilsa. I think it was nice of Ilsa to invite Liesel to come back to read in the library, this shows that Ilsa did like being in the library with Liesel. Since Liesel wasn't going to the library anymore and she had read all of her books, she needed a new way to get books. Liesel thought that the best way of getting new books was to steal them from the mayor's library. Ilsa knew that Liesel was stealing books from the library, but didn't do anything about it which shows that Ilsa liked Liesel enough to let her keep her books. I think that deep down Ilsa and Liesel knew that they were friends.

I am excited to see what the end of The Book Thief will bring. I strongly recommend this book for other people to read.
