Beautiful! I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone.

Narrated by Death itself, this story tells of the life of Liesel, a young German girl who is sent to live with a foster family at the beginning of WWII. Balancing on such a difficult and depressing topic, the story of Liesel presents such an innocence and whimsical view of the political violence and despair surrounding her. Her story had me on an emotional roller coaster from sadness to joy to overall appreciation and gratitude for my own life, family and friends.
