Many books have been prohibited by people and countries around the whole world‚ but is it really a good Idea to do so?

The Book Thief Essay Mark Zusak’s novel‚ The Book Thief‚ was better than the film‚ as it dives deeper into the various perspectives and personalities of the characters. It builds up the character of Max‚ and the minor characters (such as the Holtzapfel family) build up the story. By reading this story‚ you learn about the themes of mortality and the power of words which aren’t as present in the film.
