Review: Cut & Run

Cut & Run
Cut & Run by Abigail Roux
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Well, this took a long time to finish. I had reasons (or excuses) – I was distracted by other books to read and also because I sort of gave up with this book.

I love crime thriller books and crime thriller and gay characters?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“The Book Thief” is set during Nazi World War 2 in Germany, where a young girl, Liesel, was taken in by a foster family, Hans and Rosa Hubermann, after her parents were alluded to be taken away to concentration camps.

She continued her book-stealing ways, saving a book from being burned to ashes by Nazi soldiers and from the library of the mayor’s house. Besides book-stealing, she forged a friendship (and first love) with Rudy, her neighbour, who was fond of her from the first time he set eyes on her, and Max, the Jewish fist-fighter that the Hubermanns hid in their basement.
