Book Thief - In response to Marcus Aurelius!

I agree with your statement. I like the diversity of Liesels bond with Hans, its reminds me of me and my Dad, although im not a foster child. You can tell she feels more at ease with Hans and its shows in the way Zusak is writing about Papa very often. The diversity of the connection between people made the story more intriguing and more grabbing for me. Liesels a "daddys girl" when it comes to her realationship with Hans, Hans has been more of a father to her than her REAL dad. I also love how accepting Rosa and Hans are; Rosa can be harsh but you can definately tell she loves Liesel. It makes me stop and think how many people can hide behind their "cardboard faces" and in truth be very sensitive concerning and loving people. The depth and complexity of the realationships in the book made it one of my favorites so far, it caused me to stop and think, and every once and awhile i like that.
