Helpful Score: 1
What an amazing, wonderful novel. Find it, read it, you'll never forget it. For those of us who didn't live through World War II, it's difficult to truly comprehend the nightmare that was Nazi Germany. Zusak trains the focus on one girl, one family, one street in Germany; through them, the times come to life, vivid, chilling, and very real.
The narrator is Death: who better, really? Not a frightening figure, this Death is very "human," full of compassion and prone to flashes of ironic humor when they're needed most. He frequently remarks on how overworked he is: how sadly true.
I know this book will stay with me for a long long time, and I recommend it without reservation.
