I put off reading the Book Thief for a long time. It's blurb put me off. “Oh great,” I thought, “another miserable World War II story. How original.” I can see now that this was a mistake. Even if the story was generic (and it's not) the writing is easily beautiful enough to keep me going. Although it is early days yet.
