Katy Flanagan World Lit. Honors The Book Thief Questions 1.Based on the title of the novel The Book Thief I expected the book to be about a person who became involved in stealing books.

He is sarcastic and gives the book some comic relief when it is an intense part of the novel. Liesel Meminger is the main character. She

Feed is another zombie book that answers the question: What would happen to the news if the dead rose. The angle they took was blogging; people became professional bloggers, and no one would follow the major news because they were too slow.
