Outside Reading #1

I just started the Book Thief by Markus Zusak and it is very confusing. What I understand so far is that the narraration is divided into different parts. One part is a poetic paragraph, which I think is given so that people can understand what the narrarator is thinking and explaining at different moments. The main story is about a girl who apprantly steals books. I can already tell that the author incorporated colors and inevitability of death as an ongoing theme.
The book kind of reminds me of ELIC by John Foer because it has that same childish tone to it and the broken narrrarations.
