He wants to achieve greatness with this bridge, and the question is whether it will survive when the river floods. That's all I can say about it for now - not out of secrecy, but you just don't know what direction a book is going to take, no matter how well you've planned.Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-14363080705340742682010-01-23T12:21:00.243+08:002010-01-23T12:21:00.243+08:00Booklover-thanks so much for adding me-I also have...Booklover-thanks so much for adding me-I also have reviews posted on two other Zusak works-do you know if he is working on a new book now?Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-32622273108359546162010-01-23T12:14:57.325+08:002010-01-23T12:14:57.325+08:00Excellent review!

"We see Leisel begin to see the humanity in other people through her reading of the books she steals." Great line. What you say and suggest about <i>Mein Kampf</i> illustrates the power of the printed word, for good and for evil. <br /><br />Thanks for your excellent review!Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-37469601796846619672009-07-22T19:19:47.702+08:002009-07-22T19:19:47.702+08:00I like your review.
