Brilliantly sad
Wow, what a movie. Very disturbing but very moving and showing just how the Jews suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany. Polanski's storytelling is sublime as always and the film though a tough watch sometimes is one that will live you for a long time

I loved the movie, but the book was even better. More details, they also explain things better in the book. ☺

Absolutely beautiful, yet haunting book about a little girls experiences in nazi Germany. Her family are hiding away a Jew in their basement and Liesell is a touch of innocence in a mad ugly world.
Some of the perspective is from Death himself and it highlights the tragedy of the world wars.

Maggie is dropped in Nazi Germany to plant a bug in her mother's house - the mother she thought was dead. But along the way, she'll meet her half sister and get caught up in the horrors of Germany in 1941. As always with the series, I was pulled into another time and place with very real characters while I was reading. A few flaws (same ones as the two previous in the series), but for the most part I enjoyed this book.
