Oct 30, 2006 · The Book Thief: This book is so bad it almost made want to stop reading books. This book is written by Markus Zusak. What made this book so bad was of how boring it was. I had to read for school (which was not fun), the detail in this book was bad because the author didn't make the characters do anything.

I don't care what happened in the film adaptation either - movies always stray from a book and do what they want and shouldn't be a basis for a response to this question. The author maybe says no, so perhaps that was his intent, however, the novel is left open for interpretation at the end.
