What a powerful, wonderful book! It was heart-rending, heart-warming, wonderful, painful, compelling⦠all these things and more. I've just finished listening to this book and I feel stunned and rather bruised. It is such a powerful, wonderful book, yet the subject matter is very sad and at times horrific. I am pretty amazed that this is supposed to be a children's book (first of all, it is huge!). It is so very well written, and the narration was absolutely beyond perfection. In all my years, I have never deeply considered what it must have been like as a young child or teen living in Nazi Germany. This book is vividly written, and I feel as though I lived with the child characters. As a book lover and collector, this book spoke to my spirit and soul. All I can say is "READ IT." On a practical note, I think that a person who listens to this book on audio should also have the hard copy available so that they can see the drawings within its page.

I loved this book! I started out with the audio book version from my library and really enjoyed the narration. I must say, having Death as the narrator in this story was brilliant. This is one of very few books I've rated 5 stars and one I'll recommend to everyone. I couldn't finish the audio book before it was due back to the library, so I checked out the print version to finish and am so glad I did because the pictures and sketches in there were really great to see. It's hard to recommend one over the other (audio/print) because I loved them both.

A wonderful story read well. I did find the transition from disc 10 to 11 a bit strange. Just roll with it. I will say that at times I cried and at times I cheered. It was a great companion on my long drive alone to visit family.
