The Book Thief it is told in Death’s point of view. He has this extraordinary power to take human souls when they die. This story takes place in Germany in the World War ll era, so when people die, it is often because of war causes. If this story is told in a different point of view the best option would have to be Liesel Meminger. Throughout the entire book Death whispers in Liesel’s ear, heart, and soul. It is like she can run, but he follows her every move. From Liesel’s perspective we would not know how Death truly feels about humans and what it is like for him to viciously take away a human’s soul. This is a key factor in the story because in World War ll over 60 million people died which is about three percent of the world population
