The Book Thief 8

The power of words, for good or for evil, that message came from the pages of The Book Thief loud and clear. Leisel loved and hated words. They brought her so much joy, the ability to read and thus bring gifts to others... and yet it was with words that Hitler rallied so many in the destruction of so much life.

Words.

I ought to look at this blog more often. I didn't know you were reading this book.

What I really loved about this book was the use of words. I like words and I like them when they're used well. This book is way up there on my favorites list for the good use of words.
