The Book Thief?

Has anyone read it? Is it worth reading? I've heard mixed reviews about it.

I found it totally worth reading.  It gets a little long in the middle, but it's good.  I haven't seen the movie to compare.

Loved the book! Actually started the movie tonight but it seemed...meh.

I cannot say that I loved it, but I cannot say that I hated it either.  Overall, I felt the book was worth my time; it just didn't move me.  

I haven't seen the movie.

Thanks ladies, I think I'll give it a try

I loved the book, although it took me a bit to get into it. I wanted to like the movie but I just didn't.

I was kind of meh on it. It had interesting concepts, but it didn't really grab me. It was okay.

It's a YA book right? I saw it on the aisle with the other YA books at Target, but I wasn't sure. DD didn't seem interested after reading the back.

I believe it is a YA book. I started it last night and it did t really grab me. I need a "can't-put-me-down" book so I might come back to it later.

See, I can't read any YA books bc they're not well written to me...of course it's because I'm 20 years past their target audience, but I've never been able to get into any of the popular ones.

I agree. I used to in college but then I read some great books and I just can't go back to reading YA. I guess I'm growing up.
