Jules Heath/AP - Sophie Nélisse plays Liesel, a bibliophile with a big secret in Nazi Germany, in the book "The Book Thief.” Nico Liersch plays Liesel’s friend.cast. “The Book Thief” has its moments of brilliance, thanks in large part to an adept cast. But the movie about a girl adopted by a German couple during World War II also crystallizes the perils of book adaptations. Based on a bestselling novel, the movie tries heartily to contain writer Markus Zusak’s myriad plot points, but the result is a rushed conclusion, which tempers the intended tear-jerking climax.
