| | 1. |  | The Book Thief (Readers Circle)
from Knopf Books for Young Readers
Price: $7.19
Customer Review:
This is a wonderful novel. Moving yet funny, very real about a terrible time in history but, because of it's observations on the human condition, more warm than grim. My wife and I liked it so much we purchased 5 copies to give to friends.

I found Newt's WWII historical ficton books more entertaining than the Civil war books.
They are both good but I guess I am more interested in the modern mechanics of ware rather than the strategies of the Civil war.
This book certainly holds you attention as the Japanese fleet and US... more info
