The Book Thief By Marcus Zusac

I just started reading the book " The Book Thief , " by Markus Zusac. this book is a little confusing so far, but i think that's because the narrator was unclear to me in the beginning. They start off the book saying " First the colors, then the humans ". Then Death, the narrator, goes on about how everybody will eventually die. Making it unclear to me about what he or she is. But then it gets a little more clear when he starts to follow the girl on the train when her brother dies unexpectedly on the train to go meet her new foster parents. One thing, this is not in present day, this book takes place in Nazi Germany in WWII. The main charter so far is the girl that death follows around is named Liesel. In this book death is like a person, he goes around places and looks at people and takes the souls out of dead people. But he follows liesel around her entire life. And now that she is dead he is telling the story of her, The Book Thief. That's what he always calls her. When her brother died and he was berried a book fell out of the grave digger's pocket. Liesel, who is illiterate finds this book. Death says that she starts to steal books from the Nazis' so i can infer that she must eventually learn to read and write.
When Liesel gets to her foster parents she refuses to get out of the car. When they finally get her out of the car, she grabs on to the fence creating more of a problem for her new parents. But the soon straiten her out and she accepts her new family, and eventually likes it. They are poor, but not as poor as her old family. Her old family had their house blew up and was dirt poor before that so they needed to get rid of their kids. I think that Liesel will start stealing her books from the Hitler Youth place that she goes to now that she is 10 years old. I also know that they start to hide Jews in their basement because death says that she gets a book from one of them. I still have yet to find what the conflict will be but i know that it will have something to do with Lesiel stealing books
