*correction. Max left after Hans tried to give bread to a Jew, for the fear that the Gestapo would investigate Hans.

It’s actually sad that many people in the comment said that this video saved their summer and not realizing that they’re missing out one of the greatest book i ever read

For me personally, this story is about love and how it manifests over time and connections. How inseparable and unending it is, even after death. And how even though people may not be blood related, they are still family. Honestly, this is one of my favorite books of all time, up there with The Giver.

Who else is here cuz they didn’t finish their book and have to do something in school about it

Omg u just saved my summer

The purpose of books change throughout this story. In the beginning, books are about knowledge and a means to enter the world through reading (since she can't read). Books later become a bonding tool between the girl and the mayor's wife. Then, books become the tool for revenge as the girl is mad at the mayor's wife. And at the end, books become a means of escape (writing in her book literally saves her life).

That last sentence had me like :0

Moral of the story: *WE ALL GONNA DIIIEEEE*

To everyone talking about you saving their lives with their book reports: If you like reading at all you will love this book. It's amazing. Also lucky you I have really boring books at school if I had this one I'd be ecstatic lol. This one's really something else so when you find the time try to read it ❤️

I read the book and at first I became confused then later it started to make sense.. Your summary was the best one I found since it explains so much in such a little report. I'm definitely going to subscribe!

Books can also be more human-like, as in all humans are like books that can be opened, left untouched, stolen, or destroyed. In essence, Death is the Book Thief in this scenario and does whatever it wants, as we are the books.

extra bits of information in case you are wondering: - why did Hans Hubermann start playing the accordian? -> During world war I, his war friend that saved his life and who we later find out is Max's father, taught him to play the accordian. - the ending -> Liesel is the only survivor as all of the people, including the Hubermann's and Rudy are killed when the town gets bombed one night. Then, she is raised by the mayor and his wife and grows up to have a family of her own in the end. - death as the narrator of the story -> is what defines the characters of the book and readers are introduced to them through series of events that involve death and suffering. -> personification of death raises the message to all from an omnipresent perspective, that all of us must face death and we are all on its schedule. also reminds readers about how we should choose kindness over cruelty in all times :)

You are the hero of all kids that forgot to read this book for school!

Thanks for this, it helped me with my book report.

THANK YOU!!! my book reports due tommarow and i didnt start the book

My crush recommend this book and I haven’t bothered picking it up once over break and school starts again tomorrow, thank you.

This is going to help me so much with my summer assignment! Thx!

Yeah, Really good summary. And drawings.

Now i dont have to read 500 pages in 1 day for a test! Thank u So much!!!

This book was amazing. My favorite thus far. But the death of all of Leisel's friends was a little too abrupt for me. It didn't have much emotion.

Oof he says Lisa at 3:10 it shooked me

Finally, thank you. I hate summer reading books so thank you for this

My absolute favorite book! Excellent job.

Great book, amazing book. Thing is, I had no time to finish this book for my class, and this summary came in clutch for tests. I recommend anyone with time of their hands to read this book in full. It is a great story. 9/10

Damn it. I should have finished the book first 😂

What is the role of "stealing" in the history of the book? I mean, the book is called "The Book Thief". So, is there any consequences of this action on the characters or maybe it is an symbology about the power of death, which can take anyone at any time without warning?

This is one of my all time favorite books. I think that the way it is written is superior to almost every other book I've ever read. I really like your videos! Hugs from Sweden! :)

i know my attention span and it knows me, i can't finish the book for the life of me and i'm doing it this year for school so thank you so much for the explanation 😭

i absolutely loved this book. it made me cry so uncontrollably. just watching this video brings tears to my eyes

I would've been reading this for a straight WEEK if it wasn't for you. Now I can enjoy my summer :)

This got me started on a summer reading project. Thanks a lot man🙏🙏🙏

You have some real talent keep her gon

Thanks for helping for my holiday home work

Love this book with all my heart.

literally just saved my project on this. Im not wasting my break reading when this exists XD

thxsm!!!! i already read it but it makes no sense to me and it was almost a year ago i have to read it for my freshman honors class summer reading. i have to take a quiz on it during the first week of school which is bs! so thanks it makes more sense now and i can remember it a little more!!

Thanks. I definitely found it interesting. I'll probably talk about it more in the future.

Thank you so much for this, i read the book a while back, but i dont really remember it. Going to buy the book soon and read it again. I love how you summarise these books in little characters :D Thanks again so much!!!!!!!!!! earning a sub and a like!!! :)

Do you have any thoughts on deaths last line in the story about how he is haunted by humans

This was so helpful thank you!!!!

You saved my English grade

Mans just saved my entire freshman grade

thank you lmao i didnt know i had summer reading on this XD

Personally for me, The story is about words, power of words in the face of oppression and war. As the story unfolds, words become the means of resistance towards nazi, where max uses words to depict the resistance in the basement. also the words take a different shape when used by the nazi where the hate speech fuels the war. Liesel's love for reading which brings her comfort and hope. And Hans and liesel bond over the words.

Thank you so fucking much! Holy shit, I was having a panic attack cuz I didn't even read the god damn book >~

Dude I totally forgot, I read this book in 8th grade. Great read. Had to check it out because I saw the movie on Disney plus and thought I knew that from somewhere. That was 5 years ago.

ROSA WAS SMILING omg

Your honesty the best person known to man

i literally tried reading this and couldn’t understand anything cuz i kept getting distracted 😭 thanks man

lmao thank you i have a midterm on this tomorrow and havent started the book

The blank book was given to Liesel by max not the mayors wife

Thank you so much! The book wasn’t even boring but it’s way too long for my taste

Ilsa Hermann gives her a dictionary not a blank book, Max makes her a blank book by painting over the pages of his book, Mein Kampf

Man thanks, i was not using the rest of my summer to read a book that i can watch a resume

I have an essay on this tomorrow. Thank you so much

That's such a good analogy, since we live and create our own histories. We may live and learn the experiences of our parents and even our grandparents. But it's kinda hard to know the life of ours great-grandfathers, since the distant connection makes their memories fade away. Thanks minutedrlog! (sorry about my english)

OMG THANK YOU EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS LIKE YEARS AGO!

U just saved my life Thank you so much

I have a timed writting tomorrow about this book, thank you 😂

Who’s here bcuz the book is so boring u cant get through it but u feel guilty so u r watching this?

By the way..this won’t help you in school. Listen to an audiobook if you hate reading. THIS ISNT ENOUGH DETAIL. TEACHERS WILL KNOW YOU DIDNT READ. Please folks..do your work! This missed a major storyline! This is a great video for refreshing your memory, though.

nice video! im studying this for a level english and was wondering is there any key differences between the book and the film interpretation? not just plot but are any aspects more focused on?

This book was SO good

Best Summary ive ever seen

Oh my god this saved my butt so much

you helped me out sm thank u!!

i’m on page 97 and it’s due next week so here we areeee

I was supposed to read this for spring break but I forgot so yea I’ll use this instead

My book report is due in 2 days thank you

Doing something one this for school like 8 years later

This book made me cry so hard

You dropped this 👑

If you were to make an activity to connect the class room to the book or the theme of the book what would you do?

shoutout to my fellow procrastinators

It seems everyone is here for a report but I just reread it and wanted to get a review from another point of view.

yeah. It is a minute book report

Is the book, book thief and movie book thief almost the same, what’s the difference?? Thanks to anyone who replies! Can I just watch the movie for my summer reading book assignment?

God loves you

This is my favorite book

so like I gotta read the book but I just watched this instead AHAH but I got a question, to anyone who has read the book. does this cover it fully?

The Book Thief will be appreciated for the boldness of Mr. Zusak, also on display in his previous, I am the Messenger. It will be widely read and admired because it tells a story in which books become treasures.

you saved me man thanks alot

Who else is here because they didn’t feel like reading the book for Summer HW?

it is a PIANO accordion

i needed this 💓 failing english ?? NK WAY ⭕️❌🚫

The amount of death he said lol

thank you for this!! p.s.i am watching this to prepare for my upcoming oral presentation (impromptu, yikes!!) after the summer holiday... which means it's two days later

I didn't finish the ending of the book after watching this.

Hum, i guess i smoke something to write that comment. But thanks! I really appreciate it.

TYSM

Thats great, cause the movie was garbage, it describes itself as a celebration of the human spirit. Its not celebrating the characters, its celebrating the audience who just lost their wills to live by the end of the 2.5 hour run time. Hope the book was at least mildly interesting(also this 5 minute summary could probably be shortened to a 5 second ad, and lose zero important plot points. Hope the book was enjoyable. (nice art and good vid tho)

So this is about the book right? Not the movie?

7 years later and you’re still saving bad grades lmao

Watch at 0.75x speed :)
