Basics

Search syntax is similar to Google searches.
Words shorter than 4 characters are ignored.
Searches are NOT case-sensitive.
Automatic 'and' queries: The search will only return pages that include all of your search terms.
Only the body of the post is searched by default. Use the Advanced search to also search by subject.
Word variation/stemming is currently not supported. For example, if you search for acting or acted, the search will not return results for act.

Phrase Searches

Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. E.g. "cool video games"

Negative Terms

If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: bass -music

You love it or you hate it	Maisem	223	14	Mar 10, 2010, 11:10 PM By DragonRider3195 Latest Post Posted by DragonRider3195 Love it. It made you think at times to fully understand what was going on. And I like the idea of narrating from Death's point of view.
Liesel's little brother	hdipillo	182	10	Mar 10, 2010, 11:08 PM By DragonRider3195 Latest Post Posted by DragonRider3195 I think it also symbolized "going back to the beginning." Remember, he was the reason Leisel first stole "The Grave Diggers Handbook". I think that when she sees him, she's just remembering what she ... more
Test your Morals	Soccerpharoh	234	12	Mar 10, 2010, 11:05 PM By DragonRider3195 Latest Post Posted by DragonRider3195 I'd take them in. There was no good reason for the *s to persecute the Jews the way that they did.
Chat with Liesel	Urvashi	300	17	Feb 10, 2010, 07:58 PM By HeadBuzzer Latest Post Posted by HeadBuzzer These are all so great!!!!
di5cu55ion que5tion	Jhei55er	338	14	Jan 13, 2010, 01:39 PM By HeadBuzzer Latest Post Posted by HeadBuzzer I agree with Chaaz!
Fate	S-WOWW	212	12	Jan 11, 2010, 04:36 PM By Chaaaz Latest Post Posted by Chaaaz I think it's a coincidence. Liesel spent a lot of her time in the basement, so she just happened to be in there when the bombs hit. And I agree with lolerskatesinthehizzels - I suppose the book did ... more
Can somebody please explain to me why...	OhhAnGie	261	8	Jan 11, 2010, 09:21 AM By Rajjy_P Latest Post Posted by Rajjy_P Its because of the chain effect of events that happen in the book, sort of like the way dominos fall.
Thievery	matt93	178	10	Jan 11, 2010, 09:20 AM By Rajjy_P Latest Post Posted by Rajjy_P I think it was immoral but they had to do what they had to do.
Question about Death	Leakymug21	175	8	Jan 11, 2010, 08:46 AM By stephy524 Latest Post Posted by stephy524 no not really. he did however, feel that there will always be those special people that he wouldnt be able to forget
Mr. Meminger	morgan234	170	4	Jan 11, 2010, 08:45 AM By stephy524 Latest Post Posted by stephy524 im not sure he might have gone off to war and died.
A Hero?	morgan234	129	3	Jan 11, 2010, 08:44 AM By stephy524 Latest Post Posted by stephy524 yes i do. Many. Rudy- he saved Liesel many times Hans- he took in Max even though he was putting his family in danger
Main Character	Soccerpharoh	138	7	Jan 11, 2010, 02:37 AM By thenickperson Latest Post Posted by thenickperson I feel Liesel is the main character. The whole book revolves around her. And though Death is also extremely important to the book, I just see it as a force and a narrator. Not exactly a character, ... more
Author on Liesel	TheGomera-nator	132	3	Jan 11, 2010, 02:34 AM By thenickperson Latest Post Posted by thenickperson Well, I don't think so. She was very important to other people, and meant a lot to Max, Rudy, and Hans, but she still seemed human to me. I think that if the author wanted to portray her as an ... more
The Book Theif the Movie	Soccerpharoh	271	13	Jan 11, 2010, 02:22 AM By thenickperson Latest Post Posted by thenickperson It does read like a movie, at least to me. It's immersive, like a good movie or video game. And I also saw the movie planned for 2010 on IMDb. I think that the way that it was written, it would be ... more
More fun	sophiaceltica	123	7	Jan 11, 2010, 02:13 AM By thenickperson Latest Post Posted by thenickperson I agree, Liesel's relationship with Rudy was funny at times, in my opinion. Such as the whole "Okay, if I win this race, you have to kiss me!" thing. And I also found Death somewhat humorous at ... more
nom nom nom *s	Harriet_Tubman	160	14	Jan 11, 2010, 01:58 AM By thenickperson Latest Post Posted by thenickperson Oh yes! :DI thought they were a very cool and interesting addition to the book. It was really neat to read about something like The Standover Man and then actually see exactly what it looked like. It ... more
Death's Emotions	tcruz	148	9	Jan 11, 2010, 01:31 AM By rali93 Latest Post Posted by rali93 Although everyone said something different, while reading everyone's comments, I smiled and nodded at each. I agree for the most part that he does want to be a human. I mean he's surrounded by them ... more
Your Death	mary_cordon	131	7	Jan 11, 2010, 12:48 AM By lolerskatesinthehizzels Latest Post Posted by lolerskatesinthehizzels well what would say is that it would depend on who was dying for me, if it was someone who would have done more with their life than I then I should want them to live, otherwise, I should want to ... more
THE BOOK'S IMPACT	matt93	176	10	Jan 11, 2010, 12:19 AM By lolerskatesinthehizzels Latest Post Posted by lolerskatesinthehizzels Absolutely not, even before the event happened the reader knew it was coming because of what Death said at the beginning of the novel. that backdrop made the entire novel more powerful because it ... more
the holocaust	valentina	106	3	Jan 10, 2010, 11:22 PM By serge136 Latest Post Posted by serge136 This book did not change anything for me about the holocaust. It changed my view of some germans. I knew really thought people like Hans really existed in na-zi germany and that some germans had to ... more
