Holy Crap.
I'm not even sure I can give a review right now; I'm so distraught.
Okay, so I just finished this book and I am truly in awe. I was initially intrigued with a novel that was narrated by Death. And then I became really interested when I realized this book went into Nazi Germany. Death was pretty busy during the war, ya feel me?
But the way Death tells this story of a young girl is so enrapturing. Everything from the day she met her foster parents, to Max, to learning how to read, to Rudy, to everything just made you connect so much with the characters. It felt like I knew them personally and I could relate to their feelings and actions.
I loved how Death foreshadowed so much and how he let you know what was going to happen before it did so you could prepare yourself but at the same time, Death explained the story when it needed to come up which made the events more gut-wrenching.
Not going to lie, I cried twice reading this. My husband was looking at me like I was crazy but this book had so much DEPTH!!
Ugh... I hate this book because it made me love it so much. And the last line just brought everything home perfectly. The story was about a girl but Death brought it back to him and included his feelings. You don't often think of Death having feelings but his job is hard. And the last line really showed that.
If I could give this book a 10/5 stars, I would. But, alas, I'll have to settle with 5/5
