Orom Azim

I can easily consider myself lucky that I got to choose this book for my reading collection, and it will always stay in my collection. The title and the blurb of this special book had intrigued me to find out more about it. The thing that fascinated me then most was this little girl's resilience and strength. She went through hardship to learn how to read and write, without realising the progress she was making. The more I read this, the more I became curious to find out more about this girl: • Where did her burning passion come from? • Where did she come from and how? • Who was she? (Etc.) The story begins with Liesel recalling all her childhood traumas, from her mother abandoning her on the train to her brother's death. The climax of the story was when Hans Hubermann gives a Jew a piece of bread to help him, but they got caught by the Nazis. This gives the reader the impression that things won't end well for either of them, as the Nazis are way too powerful for them! Towards the end, Liesel passes away, but she lived a long, happy life with her children and grandchildren. There are many morals to this particular story, but the one that stands out the most for me is 'Live your life to the fullest because when it's gone, you cannot change it back'. To whoever reads this, I really recommend this book to you, it is truly astounding.
