I'm a fan of historical fiction and WWII stories, and this is by far one of the best I've read. I was a little slow with it at first because the style of writing is very unique, and telling a story from Death's point of view made it even more different. After pushing through the first couple of sections and adjusting to Zusak's style of writing, I flew right through the book.

I'd recommend this book to anyone -- it's a great way to understand other peoples' points of view who were not supporting Hitler, and what life was like.
