          As I have continued reading The Book Thief, it has continued to be eventful. Liesel watched a parade of Jews and one collapsed, so Hans gave the Jew a piece of bread, but was punished for it with a whipping. Hans shouldn't have been punished because most people didn't care about the Jews, so the soldiers shouldn't have cared that Hans wanted to help one. Max left the Hubermann house that night and I wish Max didn't leave because Liesel was really close to Max. Hans was then drafted into the German army. At Christmas, Rosa gave Liesel a book that Max made for her and she loved it. It was sweet of Max to write a book for Liesel especially since the book was about her. Hans almost died while at war, but was sent home with a broken leg. Liesel found out Max was put into a concentration camp when another Jew parade went down Himmel Street. Liesel saw Max in the parade, walked with him, but was then caught and punished. Four days later, Liesel told Rudy about Max and about him being in the Jew parade. One day, a bomb was dropped on Himmel Street with no warning while everyone was sleeping. Only Liesel survived because she was in the basement writing her book. Liesel was lucky and unlucky to survive the bomb. She was lucky because she lived, but unlucky because everyone she knew and loved died. I felt bad for Liesel because it seemed like the situation with her brother had repeated itself. It was upsetting that Liesel had left the book she was writing on Himmel Street, but it was good that Death picked up the book for her. Liesel lived with Ilsa and the mayor after the bombing. When Rudy's father returned home, he reopened his shop and Liesel would help him. One day Max walked into the shop, Max and Liesel hugged and cried for many hours. Max was so nice to return to Himmel Street just to see Liesel again. Liesel lived a long life and when Death took her, he handed her The Book Thief. Death really cared about Liesel since he read her book and kept it for many years so he could give it to her.

The Book Thief was an amazing book and I strongly recommend reading it.
