The Book Thief Pages 125-141

SPOILER ALEARTIf you have not started to read this book, and have stumbled across this blog, be warned, there are some spoilers in these passages. 
The Book Thief Pages 125-141
This section was (as I say for most sections) rather interesting. Hans was acting very strange in the last section, but who can blame him. I am glad he is partially back to his warm self. Liesel's visit to the mayor's library was defiantly the most interesting part of the section, however. The major's wife knew that Liesel stole the book, so why bring her into her own library? To catch her again stealing a book? Or is she just feeling sympathy for Liesel's passion? For a relatively long section, not much was in it, and yet it was the perfect amount. "With wonder, she smiled. That such a room existed." This sentence caught me, and I read it over many times. I cannot quite explain it, but it feels like the author greatly expressed Liesel's amazement with the room. I mean, if I found a room full of the best video games or the most challenging math problems, I would be just as amazed.
This section was really exiting for me, and I hope that if you stumbled across this, that you will be inspired to read this book just as I am.

  1. I think that the Mayor brought Liesel to her library because she knows Liesel likes books. That sentence stood out to me too.
