Wikipedia contains other images and articles that are similarly shocking or udderly amoosing.
Still, all such lists risk being deleted for lack of a neutral definition of what counts as "unusual".Ī cow with antlers atop a power line pole. That was all that I liked about this book, however.Lists of unusual things in Wikipedia mainspace (see Category:Lists of things considered unusual) should have an external reference for each entry that specifically classifies it as unusual, to avoid making it a point of view (POV) fork of original research. Like all of the other parts of this disappointing book, nope! However, I did find the fact that it was narrated by Death to be unique and intriguing. Also, it was supposed to be about the holocaust, and I was expecting a deep, emotional relationship between Max and Liesel to develop. But it has to be worth it to read about all of those curse words, and still say, “wow, that was awesome!” The Book Thief was sadly not that, and while I will probably still reread the book to see if my first impression was off, I can heartily say that it’s not on my favorites shelf. Now, this is coming from someone who can still like something even if that movie/book/person uses curse words. But… after the the 11th (12th?) time of reading the Lord’s name paired with d**n, I found myself feeling icky. Also: Where was the plot? Oh yeah, that’s right, buried deep, deep, DEEP underneath all of the weird trying-too-hard-to-sound-good metaphors and weird experiences, cursing, and depressing ending. :) *coughs* yeeeeeeaaaah, well, cut to the mother who slaps Liesel around ALL THE TIME, the dad who smokes and slaps his daughter, the kid next door who won’t stop hassling Liesel about kissing him, the weird mayor’s wife, and the constant, CONSTANT use of curse words, and I found myself utterly, bitterly, disappointedly disliking the book. Second off: I had heard some very good reviews from my friends about this book, and was expecting a well told story that had a brilliant plot line and lovable characters.
