Pgs. 292-358
Rudy Steiner is a huge idiot; this appears to be the point of the first couple of sections. He just doesn't know when to buck up and act "right." I know that acting like a Nazi isn't necessarily right, but the alternative is hugely painful and humiliating. In the end, Rudy gets out of the situation, but it takes a while. And he nearly freezes to death. That's ridiculous.
Then Max gets sick. I found this section to be very annoying. Liesel gives him trash to make him feel better. I find that on the dumb side, but she is 11 or 12. Then, she reads to him. I find that much more interesting, but her book choices are very weird. She reads about a murderer escaping. Weird.
Then Max makes it through only to be nearly discovered by a Nazi officer. It was a "fast-pace" section...Or at least as fast-paced as this book can get.
