Story
What is there not to love about this film??
Living in a house with a family of boys/men who LOVE Marvel and all things related to the Marvel Universe, I was coerced into watching this film and was more than pleasantly surprised.
I love the chemistry between the actors and the relationship they have with the CGI elements of the production and one another. I love the interactions they all have with one another and look like they truly love their job which then makes the picture look effortless.
I'm sure I will be back for the next installment if there is to be one. ??

It's rare to find a book that grips you by the heart and takes you on a ride. There's so much to love about this book. Zusak definitely has a way with words that draw you in and make it hard to put down. The story is about a young girl torn apart from the life she's known during the holocaust. It details the pain of nazi Germany and the trials that went with it. This is a story about death, love, friendship, books, a love of words, and a young brave girl trying to do the right thing in a world gone bad. It's told in the viewpoint of death and his encounters with the book thief. Finished this in 5 days and I'm sitting here pining for more, even though the story was brought to an acceptable conclusion. Find the time to read this, it's well worth it.

While I have not read the book, I did see the movie which was excellent. I highly recommend the movie as well.

I have so much love for this book. As always we get an unorthodox, singular story with a lot of cleverness and humor from Penny Reid. She is becoming one of my favorites fast and, God, can we have Billy's story soon?

I fell in love with this book on the first few pages. I was attached to the characters quickly and was intrigued to hear their story. The ending did disappoint me slightly, but the rest of the book was superb. Definitely recommend even if your not a historical fiction person.

this is the first book in the series I've read and I wasn't disappointed, what a fab read. this story has love, loss, discovery and plenty of suspense which will keep you hooked long into the night. I loved the characters and the story was well written. this book can defiantly be read as a stand alone.

A great Spanish ghost story/thriller which I'm sure said it was directed by Guiilermo Del Toro? I saw the trailer and had to see this. It's very creepy at times, largely due to the spooky location. It's a very good story well told and directed. Reminded me of The Others, The 6th sense most of all, so if you like those you'll love this.

Character also named Melanie
Frankly, I do give a damn
This goes in as one of my favorite movies. It tells a great story that has lots of romance but doesn't actually center around a love story. It talks about how a b**** gets what's coming to her. I personally enjoy the character of Melanie but I'm not sure why
