To me, The Book Thief was a great movie and a very though- provoking read. I had already seen the movie before I read the book, so for this reason, it was not difficult for me to picture the events clearly as they were unfolding in the book. Throughout the book, there were many differences, a few of which were vast dissimilarities, and in my eyes should’ve been played out differently. These differences include; the scene of Jews marching in a parade down Munich Street, the different times Death had encountered Leisel, and the many times Leisel broke into and stole books from the mayor’s house.

Leisel stealing books is what carries on this story and ties it all together, so how and why would they leave that out? I see it as too important of a portion on behalf of the movie for them to leave it completely
