Just watched that movie today on DVD.

Very good but disturbing. Reminded me a little bit of Schindler's list.

Anyone else seen it?

No...sounds like something that would depress me though.

At the end of the movie Liesel runs up and hugs the Bergermeister's wife. I assumed they would adopt her. But then the next scene (or so) shows her with Rudy's dad. Does the book make it more clear what happens to her after the bombing?

My friend has seen the movie twice and read the book. She loved it.

She keeps bugging me to see it...It's on my list!

I've seen, and read, and heard so much about this time in.history..due to my major, and also many relatives lived through this time in France, Italy,and Austria. So sometimes I shy away from this theme because it is too heavy for me.

But I think I will see this movie. Smiley Happy

I'm hoping that someone will come on and tell me if the book ends with more info on what actually happened at the end.
