Certainly, here in the UK it was published initially as a children's book and I know that as a teacher I would have wanted to think very carefully about which children I offered it to.Table Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132815228630780151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-88957963797476257882009-08-28T00:41:01.046-07:002009-08-28T00:41:01.046-07:00Actually i have been wanting t read this one for q...Actually i have been wanting t read this one for quite sometime!

I did a review of it on my blog also. I have The Giver in my read very soon shelf, probably in September. I really do not see why book stores have it only in the young adult section-I liked "I Am the Messenger" by Zusak a lot also. <br /><br />I also think Book Thief is not best seen as from a child's point of view, dont forget who the narrator is Death.<br /><br />Very good review, Suko, I hope you also like "Goodbye Tsugumi"<br /><br />If I can here is a book I found really intelligent<br /><br />Raising Confident Girls: 100 Tips for Parents and Teachers by Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer<br />-simple things you can do every dayMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-47835410806456953442009-08-27T15:39:24.079-07:002009-08-27T15:39:24.079-07:00I've been coveting this book for a long time, ...I've been coveting this book for a long time, but the "holocaust" thing kinda put me off, just because I feel like I have read and watched numerous books and movies with related theme and I got a bit tired.

It's strange to see what is marketed in which category in different countries.<br /><br />I was actually really underwhelmed by this book when I read it in April. It seemed mildly gimicky. Maybe it was just because I had really high hopes going into it. In the end, I thought Number the Stars by Lois Lowry was a far superior book about the Holocaust from a child's pov.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-78883224545977276562009-08-27T13:24:58.637-07:002009-08-27T13:24:58.637-07:00I bought this book not too long ago and look forwa...I bought this book not too long ago and look forward to reading it, especially after your great review.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
