Regrettably this poignant and profound story, does not feel very poignant nor profound at all.

Ultimately not much more complex than the moment in which two children yell "I hate Hitler" across a lake, it imparts the message that Nazis are bad, books are good, and Geoffrey Rush would make a great dad even in WWII Germany

"The Book Thief" may not be perfect, but it may steal your heart.

Pretty visuals give an unexpectedly painful twist to other parts of the story.

Markus Zusak's enormously successful young-adult novel seems to have been adapted as a movie for middle-aged children.

A tale of WWII Germany as seen through the eyes of a young girl, "The Book Thief" is unobjectionable, sentimental, and not a little dull.
