Praise for Markus Zusak
"The Book Thief will be appreciated for Mr. Zusak's audacity, also
on display in his earlier I Am the Messenger. It will be widely
read and admired because it tells a story in which books become
treasures. And because there's no arguing with a sentiment like
that."- New York Times Book Review
"Zusak doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly
gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in
Slaughterhouse-Five: with grim, darkly consoling humor." - Time
Magazine
Praise for Fighting Ruben Wolfe
"Zusak debuts with an intense tale about boxing, brotherly
solidarity, and searching for self-respect. . . . Engrossing." -
Kirkus Reviews
"Zusak's first-person narrative is electrifying. . . . Coarse and
poetic at the same time, the power of Zusak's prose and vivid
imagery will continue to reverberate long after the last punch is
thrown." - Teenreads.com
Praise for Getting the Girl
"Zusak uses simple but poetically poignant language to convey Cam's
inner teenage turmoil, confusion, and heartache. This highly
recommended novel is a sad, funny, loving, and ultimately
heartwarming coming-of-age story." - Voice of Youth Advocates
"The extravagant prose does work well in describing the
relationship between Cam and Octavia, demonstrating the
often-ignored fact that teenage boys also fall breathlessly and
heart-stoppingly in love." - The Horn Book
