Does anyone else here really, really, really, like The Book Thief like I do?

I thought it was good but i don't "really, really, really" like it. Maybe not as much as you do.  

I loved it! Probably one of my favorite books... Got to say, the movie was a massive let down. I didn't really expect much since the thing that stands out most about the book is that it's narrated by Death and good narration is tricky to get across in film... But did they have to ruin the movie by having the two kids screaming "I hate Hitler!" (For the benefit of any members of the audience who didn't get that Hitler was a baddy) and that stupid scene at the end where the little boy lives long enough to say to the girl, "Before I die, I need to tell you... I lo... I lov... I love..." *dies*?

You know, I actually watched the movie before the book so when I first watched the movie I thought it was kind of ok. But when I read the book, I realized that the movie didn't show some parts in the book and that they made up some things.

To cut it short, I kind of agree with you.

Yes, the movie was terrible compared to the book.

I'm new 

And I like the book theif

I mean book thief

You know there's an edit button, right?

I think it was good, but I don't think it's the masterpiece most people think it is. It was on the NYT Best Seller's list for around FOUR years. That's ludicrous.

In my English, we are reading. Well...I finished it. I loved it so much!

It was okay and it took me forever to read it

I luv it. Hello BAM! Figure that out. HA HA! Leave me alone. Tinypaw attack!!!!!! Totally random.  Cupcakes. I ate a cupcake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That took 4ever. go away yourself. BYE!!!!!!!

I think The Book Thief was good but not good enough to worship. :p

Just watched the movie, it was pretty great

Oh my gosh I LOVE the book thief!

I just read it for the second time about a month ago.
